Jim Pinkerton revealed...

Global Warming vs Climate Variation vs Aquifer Depletion
My thought is that, it is possible, we are in the midst of human induced "global warming" at the same time as natural "climate variation" is warming up the planet for a double wammy. Conservation, by itself, will not be enough.

Much like Colbert, who doesn't "see" race. I don't "see" class or envy wealth.
