If there are two things we hate, it's Denver and farming in the desert. Today we're gonna be talking about both. Today's big rants include the Texas Freeze, center-pivot irrigation, and climate change's influence on the changing American Farmscape.

Besides street crime and being cold, Chicago has some rather interesting water politics. We'll talk about everything from giant electric fences for fishes to the unfathomable pollution of the great lakes. We'll also be partaking in a classic Chicagoan activity: hating Naperville.

Although they're getting worse due to climate change, drought is a natural fixture of Western US ecology. Starting at the last ice age, we're gonna be talking about the significant droughts and wet spells up until the present and how man-made climate change is a historical anomaly deserving of attention.

Americans: I'm one of them. For better or worse, we're a highly individualistic culture. We want our fancy SUVs, big houses, and no one to tell us what to do. But, unfortunately, we also emit lots of CO2. So how do we reconcile that? How do we solve it? All that and more on this episode of Calfire Crackpots.

Today we're gonna be discussing the egregious estates of Oprah and other far-too-wealthy individuals, American individuality vs. climate change, and the Delta Tunnel Project. I also figured out how to add intro/outro music!

Today on Calfire Crackpots, we're gonna be talking about the Holy Trinity of California water projects: the Delta, CDWR, and Jerry Brown. Also included will be griping about farming subsidies and California politics.

After a much-enjoyed week off, we're back at it with an analysis of the engineering and development of the Colorado River and how water gets from the peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the 40 million people in the Southwest who depend on it. Also included will be irrational anger about farming in the middle of Arizona.

Today we're gonna be discussing the California wet season and Joe Manchin's buffoonery. Last week's debacle with Zoom has strengthened my fortitude to figure out how to use Zencastr for the next episode. Enjoy!
