Everyone's looking for someone to blame. No matter where you choose to assign blame it doesn't change that it's a situation that needs to be coped with. Blaming is only somewhat productive if you have a solid plan that will keep the same thing from happening next year. There have been droughts for 3 yrs in the horn of africa and now it's becoming a famine. Where will they get food for relief if farmers can grow any? They can't eat money and neither can you.
Considering how badly the States has been dragging their heals on climate change action, I kinda hope they get hit harder and sooner than everyone else.
These "Plain States" or the "Bible Belt" SHITKICKERS should call "Jesus" for help now... they voted on anti-Gay/ant-Abortion/pro-Machine Gun Ownership/anti-Equal Right to Vote stands since 1960s out of grudges of the past... they shouldn't be helped by the Govt in any way...
Politicians are fucking stupid. "Pray to a higher power"? If thats what you believe in why dont they use your god given brain to fix this problem. In all these states theres tons of aquifers, just spend some cash and build wells deep enough to reach them. Sometimes I wonder if politicians are driven by money or if theyre just really low IQ stupid.
yea there is a problem with getting the water. A lot of them are containminated due to the oil boom of the 70s and 80s. If its near a coal mine its not drinkable either. In Norman the ground water has arsenic in it and isn't suitable to drink. We have tons of artificial lakes(why we are doing better in this drought we learned something I guess.) But it isn't going to do shit. I wish I was back at my job in Istanbul the summer here is brutal gotta hold out til I go to George Mason
@kiararei Even though I do not live in Oklahoma...we are also experiencing very hot temperatures in Dallas, TX.! Today will be our 14th day with 100+ degree(F) temperatures....in the States we have other locations like Arizona that can reach up to 110 but the only problem with the plains is the humidity! Thank you for your sympathy dear Aussie. Hope to visit your beautiful continent someday! Cheers!
Texas is a part of the drought region especially around the Dallas metro area. My mom lives in Plano there are wild fires down there that get really bad I heard, it is the same here too. What oklahoma has, Texas usually has worse unless its an ice storm.
@rolliepollie100 i hate high humidity, it saps the life out of me. i will have a cold beer waiting for you when you get down here to god's paradise on earth
Funny we are in the red on the map but we have been getting rain pretty regular lately. Sure not as much as we might get but hardly a drought. Everything is green.70769
I live in Texas and my house was built in the 30's, roof has a few leaks and I don't feel like climbing up there, so I have mixed emotions on this whole drought thing lol.
Wonderful; another fool governor who instead of going to work like her predecessors did in the '30s, prefers to get on her knees & expect God to solve her problem. Fah!--when did it become acceptable to cloak irresponsibility & sloth in piety?
lol in canada it was said in the 90's were supose to have a drought every 80 years or so cause its the normal weather cycle the said to prepare in the 90's 4 this did they think they were lieing or wrong now look at all u here in sask,canada they built dykes, dugouts and sloughs 4 this reason the americans r so slow to catch up
we aren't slow to catch up, but it jsut didn't benefit certain companies or industries to build infrastructure that will prepare us for these things. In essence the US is too corrupt to do anything that benefits its citizens.
@lordblazer over here it was the farmers who took the cue from the warnings and predictions from science like so many from the usa have said over&over u can't look2goverment or companies 2 save u u have to do it ur self&if u don't u get what u give,the farmers had a chance 4 over 18 years to get ready &they looked 4 others 2 do it when its always been the ppl's reasonablity its not that i got anything against them its that they have no right to bitch now when they were warned be4 the global
Seeking help from a higher power by praying surely will get the job done instead of abandoning cattle for more efficient land use or working to create an environment that makes drought less likely.

"Seeking from a higher power by praying" I don't mind it. But I am hoping that some of these farmers are not receiving farm subsidizes
