    Anza borrego used to be filled with water millions of years ago. Do you think our industrial revolution caused all the water to dry out? Or is it natural for our climates to change in a cycle? Farmers should do a better job of preserving the aquifers, but that water is going to dry up regardless of what we do to try and stop it.

    People seem to think that the earth doesn't naturally go through environmental changes. It has ice ages then gets warm again. If anything the earth will warm a bit more then go into another mini ice age.

    Wait, if deserts are so important, why are we covering them with solar panels? Furthermore, vegetation has increased by 30% globally, unlike what is stated here. They talked about a lot of things here that aren't climate change related.

      Green cover typically means more trees. That’s a lot of trees(which suck in a lot of co2), but the problem is most of those trees are non native and out-compete the native species.

    This is stupid: it's a desert, it's a area used to very hot climate. A little more heat won't make any difference.

      Me too. Just because it’s a harsh environment, doesn’t mean it isn’t fragile, ask any park ranger there and they will tell you the same.

    Oh come on. Who is paying you to broadcast this crap ? The southwest has been drying out for thousands of years. We were in Anza Borrego just a few years back for an amazing super bloom. Migrating broad wing hawks were eating thousands of caterpillars. We expect dry spells/ wetter spells in the southwest.
