Georgia drought- Why is this not a bigger deal?

I had a fleeting thought while reading the following story: CNN - Feds okay drought deal

It just might be that the planet is doing what it needs to do to maintain equilibrium. The southeastern US, and other areas of the globe, are in serious drought while at the same time glaciers, etc., are melting like mad.

Is it possible that there is a planetary ebb and flow with respect to how much water is in what state (solid/liquid/gas) at any given time?

I don't claim any scientific credentials. No flaming please. At least you can't yell at me for starting a new thread. I did my search like a good dawg!

Well, until a couple weeks ago, the situation was actually improving, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor here:

Also, there should be some seasonal relief coming soon in the form of tropical storms. Unless those global warming folks were all lying about more and heavier storms happening.

In the meantime, us folks in California have an old saying, "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."

RE: Yellow & Brown

I guess you've never had to scrub a toilet bowl. That method of disposal, while environmentally sound, guarantees a reeking bathroom!

I bet California has a smell to it.
