I keep looking at the picture trying to figure out what the scale is. For some reason it looks like it's about 3 square inches and I'm pretty certain that ain't right. Well... unless it's something like this
So one day we are told California is going to sink into the ocean, and the next day we are told it's going to run out of water. I would imagine those two natural disasters are mutually exclusive, right?
Correct. California will sink due to tectonics and rising sea levels. That has nothing to do with whether or not it turns into a desert in the meantime. Global warming /= warming in all local climates. Some places might get cooler and receive more precipitation. That's why it's global warming/climate CHANGE. Climates will change, just not all in the same direction nor uniformly.
Only a moron would think California might fall into the ocean, I mean come on, the San Andreas is a strike slip fault, if anything San Francisco and LA will end up being neighbors. And no, we won't run out of water, but it's very possible we at some point won't have enough to serve our population. Agriculture is already getting cut back significantly this year (and we got lucky that we finally got some rain).

Liberal Propaganda to redistribute wealth! ok, now that that is out of the way, anything new and interesting in the report?
President Obama should admit to having arranged the murder of the four Americans killed in Benghazi because they were threatening to come forward with irrefutable evidence of anthropogenic climate change of catastrophic proportion, and THAT is what he's been covering up all along. I'd love to watch Fox have to spin that.

I can't think of any major climate shift that didn't result in things like mass extinction. That takes quite a bit more imagination to grasp than biblical mythology.
And it's just the amount of climate shift, it's the speed of the shift. A certain small amount of warming or cooling over hundreds or thousands of years is something to which most species can readily adapt. But if that same amount of warming or cooling is happening over decades, well, say goodbye to 90% of species on earth, something that has happened before.

http://news.yahoo.com/el-nino-back-know-2014-version-222327719.html According to Yahoo, we may be heading into another El Nino. Or not, it seems. The article goes on to say that depending on the timing of it's development, we could see cooler temps in the midwest, warmer temps in the midwest, and increased rainfall or drought. In other words, no one really knows, they needed to fill a spot in the news feed.
Someone please rebut this because this is the most thorough, scientific and logical evisceration of the modern liberal global warming/climate change movement I have ever heard. Not to say that the GOP mouth breathers are right either but you guys need to bring more to the table science wise http://podcasts.joerogan.net/podcasts/randall-carlson
