Its another example of the intersection of Global Warmng & human short-sightedness. Here in New Orleans we had hurricanes juiced up by warmer sea surface temperatures combined with lousy levees & political misleadership. In Denver the combining factors are desertification (probably) and the draining of the aquifers while the Rocky Mountain glaciers melt away.
We are so very late getting into action!
