Depending on who I ask, there are two different answers I can get to the question; is California in a drought? Some people will say yes, California is in a drought. Some people may say no, it is all a made up ploy. Southern California is widely known for not having tons of rain to begin with. After all, about twenty-five percent of California is desert land. California gets the majority of their water from the rains in the northern part of the state. Now that northern California doesn't see as much rain as it used to, it is causing problems for the people and animals that live there. If I take a look at California’s history I will find a substantial amount of evidence proving whether California is or is not in a drought. With this overwhelming evidence we can come together …show more content…
When nature goes through sudden transitions, the wildlife starts to transform too; it adapts. There is one major action that is an ongoing occurrence in the world today that is causing changes in our environments all around the world. Global warming is another one of those, is it real, questions that I can get two different answers depending on who I ask. But whether you agree or disagree, it is real, and so is California’s drought. In an article I read by Richard Seager et al. it says, “The Climate Division data shows that the all-California November 2013 through April 2014 winter and the 2011–14 three-winter average were the warmest on record, adding further stress to surface moisture by increased evaporative loss and water demand and reduced snowpack” (6997). The rising temperatures keep snowfall from happening in our winter months, which in turn makes our springs dryer. Without the snow stacking up on the mountains during the winter, there is no run off into our streams and rivers to nourish our lands. The higher temperatures also make less storms come our way during our wetter season. No rain means no replenished reservoirs after a long and hot
