How will this affect agriculture? Will this have an impact on people as in will people and are people losing their lives over this? Is this a temporary thing? Hoover Dam is expected to run out of water soon meaning LA will be out of electricity (not entirely but it will reach the point where there won't be enough to run the turbines needed for generating electricity)
So is this kinda the end for America or are there solutions to this? Water is water and that shit is important not just for our bodies but for producing energy and preventing and stopping fires.
Fuck I've always wanted to see the redwoods, I need to make a trip out there before it's too late

You've got like 10-20 years probably, unless California really drops the ball with their fire seasons lol. I mean, even then - there's still giant ones cultivated worldwide. France had like the 2nd biggest in the world for awhile.
But yeah - it's been a dream of mine to see them too. The last time I was in California I begged the people I was with and even attempted to bribe them into stopping for like half a day at one of the numerous places in CA that has at least some sort of 'giant sequoia' - but they refused and instead we spent the afternoon in Beverly Hills :angery:
Then when we were in San Francisco like three days later - I was like "we're so close to the literal cloud forests please can we go??? I'll even pay for the gas and everyone's ticket". No, we spent the day in goddamn Mission Dolores park :angry-place:
I don't think you're really at risk of not being able to see redwoods by the time you die because of this drought.
