My favorite factoid about the California drought is that subsidence in the Central Valley from groundwater over-extraction has literally sunk the ground by several inches.

This state’s agriculture conglomerates will literally sink this state into a massive sinkhole before they uproot almond groves and artichokes. 

Or stop fracking (uses 2 mil gallons / day) or beef production (not sure gallons).

Fracking is terrible for people and the environment (and is limited in California mostly to the revival of some 100 year old wells in Kern County), but even if it used 2 million gallons every day for a year, that 730 million gallons is miniscule compared to the 1.1 TRILLION gallons used just by almond orchards in this state (10% of total water use in the state). Water use for beef production, even when you calculate indirect use (water use to grow feed, especially alfalfa), isn’t even on the same scale. 

its extraordinary but not surprising how much misunderstanding there is in what’s causing the draught, from beef (an industry that should be destroyed as well) to bottled water to gardening. the agricultural industry is THE biggest cause, along with general global warming, causing the draught in california. and when we talk about draught in cali as this Big Thing that’s occurring, folks don’t even realize that there are already many regions in the southwest that have been experiencing genocidal draughts and lack of water access for years, particularly in rural indigenous communities. the agricultural industry is one of the biggest causes of communal and environmental destruction in the americas. the history of mass communal death caused by agriculture is far greater than any other industry that i know of. and monied urban, white, and rich communities in california are unlikely to suffer from draught in a meaningful way.

​Honestly this is shit we have been dealing with for YEARS and it’s only getting this much attention now outside of California because the severity MAY threaten wealthy white suburban communities.

hey world, if you love us don’t buy/eat our almonds plz
