While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.

Climate change will affect us in ways we can’t imagine. We must end fossil fuel subsidies and new drilling now.

Remember: The Panama Canal was built where it is due to the "diluvial rain" -- literally meaning "flood or deluge."

Their "rainy season" is "between May and December." This is late August. Expect "peak rain" in less than two months, in October.

This is Bad.
