WASHINGTON - People driving their cars, cranking on their air conditioners and switching on lights and dishwashers are responsible for most of the climate changes that are gradually drying up water supplies in arid and growing western states, a new study finds..........................They found that up to 60 percent of changes in river flow, temperature and snow pack between 1950 and 1999 can be attributed to human activities, such as driving, that release emissions including carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.................."The picture painted is quite grim so it's time to collectively sit down and get our act together," Barnett added, suggesting the need for conservation, more water storage, and a slowdown on development in the desert Southwest.
I bet they didn't account for eating all that Tex-Mex food.

1. Don't live in the desert anymore, it's dry and people need water.

2. Come visit Michigan, we are expecting 10 inches of snow soon, you can haul some of it back with you and start a new lake.

I feel better about freezing my arse off now.
