Drought
Don't you just love droughts? No? Me neither. Our county is going to have to declare a
state of emergency, because our river has dried up. According to a paper around here,
nearly half of the US is under moderate or extreme drought. It seems to be the worst drought for North Carolina.
This all seems to point to global warming. I mean, just look at China. They've been having major weather problems there. It seems that the temps are a degree or two higher all over. That doesn't seem like much now, but think about that if it happens every summer. We've been in the mid-90's here, but think if it were to be 105 every day . . . and then 110, then 115, then 120 (which I've actually experienced, but not here). If the temps keep going up, bad things are going to happen for sure.
