The years when we have the worst drought problems are the ones when we don't have enough snow. Whether we call it climate change or global warming, the weather is changing, and my guess is that what are coastal areas are going to be under water (goodbye, Boston, New Orleans, New York, Vancouver, San Francisco (who gives a rat's ass about Los Angeles?)), and prime farming areas are going to become deserts. A friend did her Peace Corps work in Kiribus, formerly the Gilbert Islands, and the highest land there is about 4 feet above sea level. They are very concerned about global warming.
