Droughts

[nPeace]

We already have a thread on about climate change but I wanted to discuss specifically that of drought. In certain locations around the world are in severe drought, even more devastating than it was during the Dust Bowl era. A recent article in Discover magazine warned that much of the United States is in dry, or drought, conditions. "By one measure almost 100% of the west is now in drought and that sets an all-time 122-year-record...that measure, called the Palmer Drought Index, takes into account both moisture and temperature to provide a good view of long-term drought...

"Using another measure, the kind you may be accustomed to, is the Standard US Drought Monitor. About 90% of the West is experiencing some level of drought, with 57% in extreme to exceptional drought, the two worst categories. This week marked a milestone in that this is the highest percent area of drought in the western United States since the drought monitor started in 2000.

"Western farmers and ranchers are facing a brutal growing season as drought conditions drastically reduce water deliveries" says Dan Keppen, Director of the Family Farm Alliance, a non-profit water organisation with members in seventeen Western states. "Many are being forced to make difficult decisions about their operations. No water for a farmer means no crops, no food and a very limited ability to take care of his or her family" Keppen says.

"Also suffering are the water reservoirs in the West..."

Concern is also growing regarding the possibility that the electrical grid in the West will also come under stress because of low-water levels in rivers and reservoirs that is needed for the cooling water that is required in the production of electrical energy at coal and natural gas-fired plants, as well as nuclear plants.

Yahweh has said in His Word He can shut the heavens up for sin so that it doesn't rain (Deuteronomy 11:13-17). Please discuss.

My understanding from a Biblical perspective, is that God does not interfere in man's management... or rather, mismanagement of the earth.
So whatever happens is all at man.
Do they still do cloud seeding? I don't know, but they do a whole lot of things that offset the balance of the ecosystem.
According to what the Bible says, I have confidence in God restoring the earth, in his due time, but right now, he doesn't get involved, as it's not his due time... according to the Bible.
