California's privileged species lord it over the endangered
farmer.
(Page 2 of 2)
As California farmers lose their jobs by the tens of thousands
to protect a tiny fish, the sad irony is that the delta smelt may
not be faring much better. That's not because of inadequate
protections against humans offered by state and federal officials,
but rather because those officials seem incapable of saving the
delta smelt from nature's predators. The smelt rarely grows much
longer than three inches, and it is prey for any number of other
creatures that inhabit the rivers of the San Joaquin Valley. As
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), noted at a recent congressional
hearing, the water diversions have not helped the delta smelt
populations. There are quite a few officials who believe that the
delta smelt is on Darwin's fast track to extinction, despite the
feel-good efforts of human environmentalists. McClintock's
congressional colleague, George Radanovich, is even rooting it on,
calling the smelt "a worthless little worm that needs to go the way
of the dinosaur."
For their part, environmentalists who sue on behalf of the delta
smelt consider the tiny fish to be an absolutely critical part of
the food chain, feeding on plankton and in turn serving as food for
larger fish and birds. If the delta smelt disappears, they warn
ominously, the local food chain collapses. Whether that's true or
not, what the policies boil down to should be a matter of picking
your calamity: should the fish (and others in the food chain)
suffer, or should humans?
PERHAPS THE MOST MYSTIFYING ELEMENT of California's
farms-versus-fish imbroglio is the unwillingness of the media and
the state's political establishment (other than the elected
representatives of the region) to confront the issue head-on.
Sidestepping the tough questions involved, they refer instead to
California's lengthy drought as the cause of much of the state's
misfortune.
"California is in its third year of drought, and many farmers in
the state's crop-rich Central Valley are looking at dusty fields,
or worse, are cutting down their orchards before the trees die,"
according to National Public Radio in a report typical of the media
coverage. "This year, farmers have been told they are getting only
a small fraction of the water they need." The alarm over
California's drought spread on both coasts. In Sacramento, Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency, while in
Washington Congress held hearings at which Democrats decried
"California's Katrina."
Not surprisingly, global warming is being blamed for
California's drought. California's drought was regularly invoked on
Capitol Hill as Congress debated cap and trade legislation this
summer. Energy Secretary Steven Chu gave this storyline a boost in
February when he warned that drought will cause California's
vineyards and farms to vanish by the end of the 21st century if we
fail to combat warming. "We're looking at a scenario where there's
no more agriculture in California," he told the Los Angeles
Times.
The only problem with the idea of drought driving California's
misery is that it is largely a fiction. There has been very mild
drought in recent years, but not enough to account for the current
massive cuts in water to Central Valley farmers. This spring, the
state's Department of Water Resources revealed that the mountain
snowpack feeding California reservoirs was at 80 percent of normal
levels, while precipitation in the northern and southern Sierra was
90 percent of average. This prompted California's chief hydrologist
to tell reporters writing about the supposedly epic conditions that
while, sure, there had been some drought, it was "not the worst we
ever had." By the conventional definitions his office employs, he
said, 2007 and 2008 barely qualified as drought years at all.
Drought isn't the reason the Central Valley's farmers aren't
getting water. "There's plenty of water," says congressman Devin
Nunes, a Republican who represents part of the Central Valley. "But
the courts say it can't be touched, so it's flowing out to sea
under the Golden Gate Bridge."
The false drought meme has conveniently allowed policy makers as
well as the media to sidestep the uncomfortable issues surrounding
Endangered Species Act regulation. It permits them to avoid
confronting what Nunes refers to as "the fundamental wrongness of
choosing fish over people." And it permits them to avoid taking
responsibility for the consequences of government policies and
regulations that have tremendously adverse impacts on ordinary
people's lives. When cornered, blame the weather.
DURING THE 1930s, the Dust Bowl tragedy pitted hapless farmers
against the vagaries of weather and climate, as the Great Plains
endured a horrific seven-year drought the likes of which no one
could recall. California, too, has suffered drought in recent
years. No one denies that. Yet however much the drought gets blamed
for so many of the state's problems, the disaster unfolding in the
Central Valley is almost entirely man-made. Fields lie fallow.
Families in some of America's richest cropland face crushing
poverty. Businesses go belly-up. The fact that this is spurred by
government policies designed to protect endangered species from
dying off is an irony tinged with tragedy.
Missing in this sad affair has been any element of common sense.
But that may be changing. In response this summer to an appeal of
the last year's Fish and Wildlife Service ruling, Judge Wanger
signaled a change of course. He hinted that the USFWS's decision
supporting the shutting off of pumps to Central Valley farmers (not
to mention his initial order to do so) may have erred by not taking
into account the impact on the human populations. As the issue
winds its way through the courts, it remains to be seen whether
Judge Wanger's newfound logic holds up. If so, there may be
protection for the endangered farmer after all.
When in the hell are the sane people of this Country going to put
a stop to this madness? Americans are losing their way of life,
livelihoods, and freedoms to chose ,at the hands the hands of an
abusive authoritarian government.
california bob| 9.11.09 @ 8:43AM
he asks: "should the fish (and others in the food chain) suffer,
or should humans?" Phrased that way, there is only one answer and
it is the same answer every time regardless of the circumstances.
Humans should not suffer a downturn and all the species must die
before any such loss occurs. Therefore, we choose ecological
collapse.
Irene Flick| 9.23.09 @ 1:20AM
This is great, now Chinese cabbage will genuinely come from
China. None of this phony stuff grown in California. It should be
fresh enough after a week or two on a ship, right? And China has
such superior environmental practices compared to the USA after
all.
The problem with the "either or" way of thinking is that if you
choose humans every time, then you eventually end up on a planet
with all humans and no wild animals whatsoever. That's not the
kind of world I want my children to live in.
It's unfortunate, that people are losing their farms, but the
reality is that there is a limited supply of water to go around,
and maybe California was supposed to be a desert in the first
place. At the very least, it's a wake up call to rethink
population numbers in the Western USA, and allowing about 1
million immigrants to cross the southern border every year.
TwayneA| 7.22.10 @ 3:23PM
Perhaps the water should be cutoff to SOUTHERN CALIFORNNIA?
Of course these greedy developer bastards will continue to build
houses allowing MILLIONS to move despite being out of water.
HELLO?
The "Green Beans" are being used to attack the food supply of
America; simple as that!
These bastards have been controlling supply and demand all over
the place; jobs, oil, electricity in Cal, etc. etc.

The western border of my property exists as a base flow stream,
certainly polluted but distillable nonetheless. With a posthole
digger, two ten-foot extensions, a rope and coffee can (I have
done this) I can get potable H2O from the water table below my
yard.
When the feces hits the vertical hard surface my exchange rate
will be 20:1, twenty gallons of gasoline for one gallon of
water.
I may go commercial on this; I have two disassembled 1930 era Air
Motors in storage, complete with tower, pump jacks and original
wooden hexagon push rods. (The pumps DO work because the vandals
HAVE NOT stolen the handles.)
The two most valuable commodities in that barely imaginable
future will be, not diamonds or flesh, but the aforementioned
posthole digger and a firearm.
Footnote: Some of those water resources will be diverted to horse
tanks where I will aquaculture Delta Smelt to be used as sushi
snacks for the Della Cowboy Cheerleaders in the back seat of my
HumVee when we are cruising.
Kurt| 9.22.09 @ 9:21PM
Cool, the pump works because the vandals didn't get the handle.
Why the surprise? It has been evident for years that the

than support for the campers family.
Tim| 9.11.09 @ 9:35AM
On a deeper level, wasn't it government that decided decades ago
that it would be a good idea to change desert to farmland? A lot
of family farms in the east (abundant water, shorter growing
season) were put out of business by federally subsidized water
projects for the desert west.
Tim| 9.11.09 @ 9:38AM
Which is not to say that I oppose turning the water back on. It's
just that it seems once Gubmint gets into the game, insanity
piles up on top of insanity. Like the old lady swallowing the
fly.
owyheewine| 9.11.09 @ 9:48AM
Something like 99% of all species that have existed on the earth
are now extinct. Most of this happened before humans existed. The
silliness of the ESA suggests that man can change the Darwinian
march to eliminate less fit species.
This needs to become a metaphor for the unintended consequences
resulting from the ever expanding body of legislation that seeks
to extend governmental control of every aspect of, not only our
lives, but also natural processes that are beyond our current
understanding.
Northern Rebel| 9.11.09 @ 10:04AM

Abandoning levity (maybe I never possessed any), the same aspects
of environmental concern are occurring on the most water rich
environment in the world, the Ogalala and Dakota Aquifers, upon
their juncture I reside. Hundred year leases, irrigation
contracts, inter state compacts here in the Midwest are in
turmoil and those in charge are forgoing any pretense of tort
reform. This is the real issue we as a nation face, not the
"Global Warming" brouhaha. Water will be the next "petroleum" and
I praise the Lord that I will not have to develop the hygiene
regimen of Europe or the rest of the non-Asian masses. (We have a
BO problem but it is not olfactory. )
DeltaResident| 9.11.09 @ 12:23PM
Perhaps the gentleman of the Manhattan Institute would prefer to
drain the Hudson River to enable irrigation farming of the plains
of New Jersey. How about farming where there is abundant water
and good soil, and not just cheap illegal alien labor? We live
here on the Delta, and are not legally allowed to use the water
flowing in our backyard. This issue is more complicated that the
smelt, and it stinks just as bad.
Dave| 9.11.09 @ 12:26PM
I have to mention one other large enviromental hypocrisy that is
going on in the delta. The pollution in the form of partially
treated sewage and pesticides coming from cities around the
delta. Also many invasive and non-native species living in the
delta. Is anything being done about these other health effects
for the delta? Mostly No. They just want the water to go to the
ocean. I beleive so they can use other peoples water to flush out
the pollution out of the delta.
The problem with our regulatory systems is one of checks and
balances as well as accountability. The ability for any government
agency to regulate anything comes ultimately from Congress; not the
Excutive; and most certainly not the Courts.

My brother in law is a geological engineer in Wyoming. two of his
natural gas wells have been closed for 6 months per year for the
Grouse mating season. I asked him if the wells impeded the grouse
and he said "Hell no", they gravitate to the wells!
He says this is happening all over the West for oil and natural
gas. and, oh by the way, now investment for new wells is way down
because investors don't want to take the chance of having their
investment shut down for 6 months a year.
THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC STRATEGY OF THE EPA TO STIFLE DRILLING AND
ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE US!
When do wake up to the liberal strategy to shut us down busing
environmental law?
Look for news about the fact that protected herds of wild horses
are being placed where the largest shale oil deposits are in the
West. They are throttling our ability to produce our own energy
unless it uses their type of energy (wind and solar) which anyone
that has studied it ...knows that they cannot replace our coal
and natural gas. It is time we wake up.

The problem with our regulatory systems is one of checks and

government agency to regulate anything comes ultimately from
Congress; not the Excutive; and most certainly not the Courts.
It is a congressional act such as the Clean Air Act the
established the EPA and its regulatory infrastructure. It is also
Congress that infused the EPA with the legal armour to regulate
things like fossil fuel emissions that are poisonous to humans.
When the courts through its diktats ordered the EPA to begin
regulating CO2 as a poisonous gas, it not only circumvented
Congress, but common sense as well. There is no recourse to the
law now (that is, unless one petitions the courts; however, in
this case it is Congress and not the courts that are empowered to
write laws).
All of these enviormental issues seem to be tied directly to
judges who have taken upon themselves to not only decide policy,
but to write it.

The problem with environmentalists, ecologists, biologists, and
archeologists, is that they set out to teach me, and I listened.
I learned that Evolution is an ongoing process that allows
animals to change to thier environment. Whether that be
hurricanes, ice ages, meteors, or mankind drilling holes in the
ground.
I've learned that nature has a robust system in place for
adapting to changes and rewarding successs. I've also learned
that failures are not tolerated.
I've learned that the earth is a dynamic place, marked by meteor
strikes, moving continents, shifting deserts, and roaming ice
shelves.
I've learned that extinction is just as much a product of
evolution as adaptation.
I've learned that change is inevitable. All of these things
happened and continue to happen, oblivious to mans presence. But
you, you're the one who's convinced that its all mans fault if
the clouds are not to your liking, and if a species blinks out of
existence.

As to the Delta smelt not faring so well after the imposition of

Perhaps a landowner who finds the delta smelt on his land and
faced with the prospect of burdensome regulation would want to
kill off all of the fishes prior to their discovery by an
overzealous regulator. It's just a thought.

can prove a dung beetle has died from letting the water just go
out to sea film it dying in slo-mo with dramatic music, an ad
campaign and news coverage of it's plight it will save the agi.
What in the heck is wrong with these people? Can't farm, fresh

This species "collapse" argument is specious. The Central Valley
was at one time (hundreds/thousands of years ago) a huge inland
sea. There was no Delta, no rivers... nothing but a huge body of
fresh water fed by the snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.
During that time (if you believe in evolution), smelt, salmon,
steelheads, longfin tuna, killer whales etc. all managed to
evolve just fine, thank you, without the Delta and its
tributaries flowing anywhere.
The earth ages, the species adapt or die out.
It also doesn't help that Sacramento, Martinez and Stockton dump
millions of gallons of barely-treated sewage directly into the
Delta. That water is then pumped to Los Angeles for the Angelinos
to drink... ewwwwww!

I lived in California the vast majority of my life and could only
watch as this kind of liberal insanity overwhelmed any common
sense in the state. Seems like everything the liberal
politicians, including most of the Republicans, have been cooking
up in Sacramento is coming to a boil all at once this year:
punitive taxing has caused more and more people to move away;
wasteful spending, despite having the highest tax rates in the
nation on most things, has left the state coffers empty;
environmental mismanagement has left vast areas ripe for burning
and drought.
Maybe it's time to just give the state back to Mexico...they can
have Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Arnold
Schwarzenegger, too...we'll keep Tom McClintock, though...he's
one of the only politicians from the Tarnished State that makes
any sense anymore.

The states north of Kalifornia should dam up the water, including
the aqueducts, and allow the Golden state to become a desert.
They can then feast on the rattlers and lizards. When will that
big earthquake split them off so they can become the Independent
Country of Socialism and quit stinking up the rest of the US?
I’m so glad I found this. I have become so much smarter by
reading all the wisdom put down here in these comments e.g.,
evolution is a fraud because iron rusts; California’s water comes
from aqueducts from “states north”; the Central Valley was an
inland sea until “hundreds/thousands” of years ago; government is
placing restrictions on agribusiness use of water that government
provided in the first place and that’s really unfair; some water
is still being allowed to “flow out to sea” and that’s
unacceptable when we could be diverting the last drop too; we
need to “wake up” and get the wild horses off the shale oil
deposits.
Now that I learned all this stuff I can go tell the
enviro-dummies how clueless they are.

This is what happens when liberals run things. The state has a
twenty billion dollar deficit on their loan payments so they
raise expenditures and taxes driving business out of state and
then they shut down the water so the farmers are forced out of
business and the state loses more revenue. And now Oklahoma
citizens have to pay for the pensions of ex school teachers in
California who get more than $100,000 a year. Hell teachers here
don't earn half that. California is a great example of what
liberal policies do to a state: Liberals on destroy things. They
have made nothing and saved no one. But they sure do like
congratulating themselves after they screw every thing up.

california bob| 9.11.09 @ 8:43AM
he asks: "should the fish (and others in the food chain) suffer, or should humans?" Phrased that way, there is only one answer and it is the same answer every time regardless of the circumstances. Humans should not suffer a downturn and all the species must die before any such loss occurs. Therefore, we choose ecological collapse.

This is great, now Chinese cabbage will genuinely come from China. None of this phony stuff grown in California. It should be fresh enough after a week or two on a ship, right? And China has such superior environmental practices compared to the USA after all.
John Rohan| 10.11.09 @ 10:00PM
The problem with the "either or" way of thinking is that if you choose humans every time, then you eventually end up on a planet with all humans and no wild animals whatsoever. That's not the kind of world I want my children to live in.
It's unfortunate, that people are losing their farms, but the reality is that there is a limited supply of water to go around, and maybe California was supposed to be a desert in the first place. At the very least, it's a wake up call to rethink population numbers in the Western USA, and allowing about 1 million immigrants to cross the southern border every year.

Perhaps the water should be cutoff to SOUTHERN CALIFORNNIA?
Of course these greedy developer bastards will continue to build houses allowing MILLIONS to move despite being out of water. HELLO?

The western border of my property exists as a base flow stream, certainly polluted but distillable nonetheless. With a posthole digger, two ten-foot extensions, a rope and coffee can (I have done this) I can get potable H2O from the water table below my yard.
When the feces hits the vertical hard surface my exchange rate will be 20:1, twenty gallons of gasoline for one gallon of water.
I may go commercial on this; I have two disassembled 1930 era Air Motors in storage, complete with tower, pump jacks and original wooden hexagon push rods. (The pumps DO work because the vandals HAVE NOT stolen the handles.)
The two most valuable commodities in that barely imaginable future will be, not diamonds or flesh, but the aforementioned posthole digger and a firearm.

On a deeper level, wasn't it government that decided decades ago that it would be a good idea to change desert to farmland? A lot of family farms in the east (abundant water, shorter growing season) were put out of business by federally subsidized water projects for the desert west.

Something like 99% of all species that have existed on the earth are now extinct. Most of this happened before humans existed. The silliness of the ESA suggests that man can change the Darwinian march to eliminate less fit species.
This needs to become a metaphor for the unintended consequences resulting from the ever expanding body of legislation that seeks to extend governmental control of every aspect of, not only our lives, but also natural processes that are beyond our current understanding.

Abandoning levity (maybe I never possessed any), the same aspects of environmental concern are occurring on the most water rich environment in the world, the Ogalala and Dakota Aquifers, upon their juncture I reside. Hundred year leases, irrigation contracts, inter state compacts here in the Midwest are in turmoil and those in charge are forgoing any pretense of tort reform. This is the real issue we as a nation face, not the "Global Warming" brouhaha. Water will be the next "petroleum" and I praise the Lord that I will not have to develop the hygiene regimen of Europe or the rest of the non-Asian masses. (We have a BO problem but it is not olfactory. )
DeltaResident| 9.11.09 @ 12:23PM
Perhaps the gentleman of the Manhattan Institute would prefer to drain the Hudson River to enable irrigation farming of the plains of New Jersey. How about farming where there is abundant water and good soil, and not just cheap illegal alien labor? We live here on the Delta, and are not legally allowed to use the water flowing in our backyard. This issue is more complicated that the smelt, and it stinks just as bad.
Dave| 9.11.09 @ 12:26PM
I have to mention one other large enviromental hypocrisy that is going on in the delta. The pollution in the form of partially treated sewage and pesticides coming from cities around the delta. Also many invasive and non-native species living in the delta. Is anything being done about these other health effects for the delta? Mostly No. They just want the water to go to the ocean. I beleive so they can use other peoples water to flush out the pollution out of the delta.

The problem with our regulatory systems is one of checks and balances as well as accountability. The ability for any government agency to regulate anything comes ultimately from Congress; not the Excutive; and most certainly not the Courts.
TennesseeVolunteer| 9.11.09 @ 2:11PM
My brother in law is a geological engineer in Wyoming. two of his natural gas wells have been closed for 6 months per year for the Grouse mating season. I asked him if the wells impeded the grouse and he said "Hell no", they gravitate to the wells!
He says this is happening all over the West for oil and natural gas. and, oh by the way, now investment for new wells is way down because investors don't want to take the chance of having their investment shut down for 6 months a year.
THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC STRATEGY OF THE EPA TO STIFLE DRILLING AND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE US!
When do wake up to the liberal strategy to shut us down busing environmental law?
Look for news about the fact that protected herds of wild horses are being placed where the largest shale oil deposits are in the West. They are throttling our ability to produce our own energy unless it uses their type of energy (wind and solar) which anyone that has studied it ...knows that they cannot replace our coal and natural gas. It is time we wake up.
JP| 9.11.09 @ 3:44PM
The problem with our regulatory systems is one of checks and balances as well as accountability. The ability for any government agency to regulate anything comes ultimately from Congress; not the Excutive; and most certainly not the Courts.
It is a congressional act such as the Clean Air Act the established the EPA and its regulatory infrastructure. It is also Congress that infused the EPA with the legal armour to regulate things like fossil fuel emissions that are poisonous to humans.
When the courts through its diktats ordered the EPA to begin regulating CO2 as a poisonous gas, it not only circumvented Congress, but common sense as well. There is no recourse to the law now (that is, unless one petitions the courts; however, in this case it is Congress and not the courts that are empowered to write laws).
All of these enviormental issues seem to be tied directly to judges who have taken upon themselves to not only decide policy, but to write it.

The problem with environmentalists, ecologists, biologists, and archeologists, is that they set out to teach me, and I listened.
I learned that Evolution is an ongoing process that allows animals to change to thier environment. Whether that be hurricanes, ice ages, meteors, or mankind drilling holes in the ground.
I've learned that nature has a robust system in place for adapting to changes and rewarding successs. I've also learned that failures are not tolerated.
I've learned that the earth is a dynamic place, marked by meteor strikes, moving continents, shifting deserts, and roaming ice shelves.
I've learned that extinction is just as much a product of evolution as adaptation.
I've learned that change is inevitable. All of these things happened and continue to happen, oblivious to mans presence. But you, you're the one who's convinced that its all mans fault if the clouds are not to your liking, and if a species blinks out of existence.

As to the Delta smelt not faring so well after the imposition of ESA regulations, could it be the case of unintended consequences?

What in the heck is wrong with these people? Can't farm, fresh water being diverted right out to sea, can't drill our own oil, etc.. because big daddy government is going to think for us and the dung beetle too, it knows best.

This species "collapse" argument is specious. The Central Valley was at one time (hundreds/thousands of years ago) a huge inland sea. There was no Delta, no rivers... nothing but a huge body of fresh water fed by the snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada.
During that time (if you believe in evolution), smelt, salmon, steelheads, longfin tuna, killer whales etc. all managed to evolve just fine, thank you, without the Delta and its tributaries flowing anywhere.
The earth ages, the species adapt or die out.
It also doesn't help that Sacramento, Martinez and Stockton dump millions of gallons of barely-treated sewage directly into the Delta. That water is then pumped to Los Angeles for the Angelinos to drink... ewwwwww!
D Jones| 9.12.09 @ 9:36AM
I lived in California the vast majority of my life and could only watch as this kind of liberal insanity overwhelmed any common sense in the state. Seems like everything the liberal politicians, including most of the Republicans, have been cooking up in Sacramento is coming to a boil all at once this year: punitive taxing has caused more and more people to move away; wasteful spending, despite having the highest tax rates in the nation on most things, has left the state coffers empty; environmental mismanagement has left vast areas ripe for burning and drought.
Maybe it's time to just give the state back to Mexico...they can have Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Arnold Schwarzenegger, too...we'll keep Tom McClintock, though...he's one of the only politicians from the Tarnished State that makes any sense anymore.

I’m so glad I found this. I have become so much smarter by reading all the wisdom put down here in these comments e.g., evolution is a fraud because iron rusts; California’s water comes from aqueducts from “states north”; the Central Valley was an inland sea until “hundreds/thousands” of years ago; government is placing restrictions on agribusiness use of water that government provided in the first place and that’s really unfair; some water is still being allowed to “flow out to sea” and that’s unacceptable when we could be diverting the last drop too; we need to “wake up” and get the wild horses off the shale oil deposits.
Now that I learned all this stuff I can go tell the enviro-dummies how clueless they are.

This is what happens when liberals run things. The state has a twenty billion dollar deficit on their loan payments so they raise expenditures and taxes driving business out of state and then they shut down the water so the farmers are forced out of business and the state loses more revenue. And now Oklahoma citizens have to pay for the pensions of ex school teachers in California who get more than $100,000 a year. Hell teachers here don't earn half that. California is a great example of what liberal policies do to a state: Liberals on destroy things. They have made nothing and saved no one. But they sure do like congratulating themselves after they screw every thing up.
