I doubt it. It's cyclical, and every time we're in the middle of it, people begin worrying that it'll last forever. That's human nature.

Central and South Texas went through a decade-long drought in the 50s. It was a dust bowl. Everything was dried up. In the 70s, people thought we were entering an ice age. Now people are thinking we're going to keep heating up and stay dry.

I guess I'm just not too much of a reactionary. We are in a warming period and a dry period. I believe it's serious. I believe we need to conserve water, especially with how many people continue to move here. I really wish we'd do away with non-native lawns that take so much water. But I do not want everyone to go with all rock/gravel yards. That will create even more of a heat island, and cause problems. We need to stick with hardy, local plantlife.
