Widespread Drought in US West
I don't recall ever seeing a drought monitor with such widespread drought in the US west. To be sure I don't check every one, but this looks terrible and portends badly for the coming wildfire season, especially, it seems, in Oregon and California and Montana. And in Oregon and California at least, this is on top of a multi-year drought already in place -- in the West generally, the worst in 1,200 years. (Williams+ Nature Climate Change, March 2022.)

Wow, if this keeps up, the South Western United States could become a DESERT! All those people who moved out there the last 50 years and use the water could cause never-before-seen water shortages! I'm sure nothing like this has happened in the last 5000 years, we should check the NOAA history for 4000 BC and see what they reported. Total proof of Global Warming, IMHO.
Anon: How many people were living in the US SW over those 5000 years?
