US Energy Secretary: Inaction on Global Warming Could Destroy California Agriculture

The risk of inaction on global warming is rapid increase in melting of snowpack in California mountains, resulting in eventual decrease in water supply needed for agriculture: "you're looking at a scenario where there's no more agriculture in California. When you lose 70 percent of your water in the mountains, I don't see how agriculture can continue." Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, in a speech in California last week, quoted in the Los Angeles Times, http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/greenspace/2009/02/chu-economic-di.html.
