Eastern New England is experiencing an extreme drought, this year.
Last year, Boston rainfall was 12 inches above average.
These weather extremes could be caused by astro-physics of Earth's rotation and solar orbit; Earth's volcanism, or lack thereof; el nino/la nina; God's wrath; cow farts; internal combustion engines; or anything else.
What gets lost in the Green Communist Global Climate Change nonsense, is that we need to direct resources towards climate resiliency. Government should be planning, and building, new reservoirs, desalinzation plants, and other water infrastructure to accomodate population and economic growth.
I don't know what's causing this year's weather / climate, but I do know that we need to heed the lesson of Joseph in the Bible - there will be times of surplus and times of deprivation - we need to plan accordingly.
