California is sinking (literally) and could flood soon

[HappyGuy]

California is sinking at a historic rate from the pumping of grown water, scientists call it subsidence.

This isn't due to any doomsday scenario. If you watch the video, the sinking of California is due to farmers drilling for water holes and water wells. If they stopped that, CA would stop sinking. Therefore, this problem is controllable. However, Edgar Cayce, the famous psychic, long ago predicted that CA would sink during the apocalypse. lol

No it's not because people want to live in the nice coastal areas and cities like Vegas and Phoenix and real estate is ready to bribe politicians if necessary to feed that demand. That leaves only the dry unwanted parts of California and cheaper hot southwest states for farming. A lot more water is required to farm out in the desert and agriculture is one of the biggest industries in California and the southwest so this will continue unless the government can get people to stop moving into existing cities with good jobs and good weather and use that fertile land with abundant water for farming instead while everyone moves their homes out to the poorer quality land.

California Has Australian Problems Now
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/08 ... ornia.html

California is Australia now. Beginning late last year, in what is already known as the country’s Black Summer, bushfires burned through 46 million acres, or 72,000 square miles; killed several billion animals, pushing a number of species to extinction or the brink of it; flooding Sydney with air so thick with smoke ferries couldn’t navigate its harbor and fire alarms in office buildings rang out, registering the smoke as proof the building itself was in flame; and forcing beachfront evacuations in scenes that crossed Dunkirk with Mad Max.

The situation today in California isn’t yet quite as grim, although this week CalFire advised every citizen of the state — all 40 million of them — to be prepared to evacuate. Already, more than 100,000 already have. When I first began writing this article, 500,000 acres had been burned in the state; when I finished writing it, the it was 600,000, and when it was done being edited, it was 700,000 — a number that would have been, in recent memory, a historically devastating year of fire. In just five days, more land had burned than in all of 2019. And the number kept growing—well past a million acres to 1.25 million.
