"Much of the southwestern portion of the United States has been gripped by a drought that never seems to end, and there is a
tremendous amount of concern that patterns that we witnessed back during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s may be starting to repeat.
A couple of weeks ago, NASA posted an article on their official website about the horrible drought conditions that we are now witnessing…
Because things have been so dry, it is really easy for the wind to pick up dust and start blowing it around, and this summer we have been seeing some really impressive dust storms.
....the lead author of that study is actually telling us that the current drought is “on the same trajectory as the worst prehistoric droughts”…
It could theoretically end next year, or it could persist for the foreseeable future.
In addition, supplies of fresh water are going to become increasingly stressed. The once mighty Colorado River is now so overused that it doesn’t even run all the way to the ocean anymore, and experts are deeply concerned about the future of the river."
