very interesting stuff and a hilarious picture. in reading the briefs I find the topic on water to be very interesting. Water rights between local and state governments from Kansas to Arizona to California are going to become a major point of contention within our lifetimes I believe. I just don’t believe the region, especially in places like Phoenix and Vegas, can support the population that has sprung up, and thats without climate change. Speaking of, its curious how often the climate change brief mentions things in a way that “x WILL happen or Y and Z WILL happen”. I had no idea we were so good at predicting the future, haha.
Oh the training we’ve received at Pepperdine, we can’t even read a report without criticizing its flaws. You are correct, the wording WILL is very strong. I would have used MAY but apparently they’re that confident at predicting the future.
