Rick Perry is to blame - his relationship with god sucks.

A town outside of Dallas has already ran out of there water reserve and have shut off the water until they can bring in more.

Btw, does anyone know what part of Texas this photo was taken in... just out of curiosity?

This is what Brownbackistan...aka "Kansas" might end up looking like someday too.... if we don't all end up under water first, or incinerated or clouded by the supervolcanoes, or squashed by a giant meteor, or....well, maybe I'm too tired to be anything but fatalistic right now. But, hey! I know a good caption for this picture.... "Yes Mr. Bush (or Perry), there really is a Global Warming - Warning", (It's called a long-term heat advisory).

Texas is dry because the water has been redirected to other locations

To bad that the majority of Texans don't really believe in climate change...If I didn't live in TX I would laugh at the rednecks that think prayer can heal everything. It's effin' scary and hellish here. Maybe, just maybe 'christians' will learn to love the planet that God has given them as much as the heathen hippies.

Perhaps someone should mention global warming to them.

Why not call on Governor Perry to pray the drought away?

It going to become blatantly obvious that mankind cannot play games with the enviornment without its consequences affecting man itself reminding us that we still live in nature. Pretty soon urban and window gardens are going to be more than fads they may be necessary for our survival. I wish that the problem was simply a drought when one considers the horrors that our divided self centered world may unleash unto each other when food supplies gets squeezed terrify anyone who dares to imagine such a scenario.

This is a reminder of what happened in the 1920s Dust Bowl plus economic meltdown equals depression.

Well , i do not see any solar panels , people are missing an opportunity . From that pic i would say the topsoil has blown away , so trees , will not be an option . No trees and desertification . Welcome to climate change . Maybe if you pray .....

"Hey guys don't worry, I just heard global warming is fake. That Texas drought? That ain't real. Food shortages? McDonalds has burgers for a buck. The hot weather were having is just a delusion."

Man, I'm glad to hear that.

The irony is ... where is the strongest opposition to man-made global warming found..?

Texas is experiencing a drought, the Horn of Africa is experiencing a drought. Does anybody see the correlation here? Between the droughts and the flooding of farm land this year, food is going to be very expensive right when more and more people are finding it hard to feed their families. Pretty soon US citizens will be starving because of these crop failures.

Maybe we should let them secede, then we can sell them water to help us lower our trade deficit and balance our budget.

Global warming deniers should have conventions and think tank gettogethers in Texas, covered by FOX news of course. Aside from that, it sucks for the farms and ranches there and I feel for them. Over the past years here in nw Ohio I have seen dry spells so bad that corn and beans would die in the fields. Something, that until it happened, I'd thought I'd never see here.

Americans, especially in these areas run by politicians who use God as a shield to cover their own political inadequacies and their love for the oil industry that fills their campaign coffers need to understand that even 'God' would say, what the hell is wrong with you people? There are lakes disappearing down there. Where do they think all of that moisture is going? Try South Korea, North Korea, Columbia, Brazil...and other places that are now flooding due to the overabundance of moisture in our atmosphere. Our global agriculture is suffering and people are dying due to these droughts. Famine in East Africa which is more extreme than in six decades. I just want to scream WAKE UP! Your God gave you a beautiful planet and the FREE WILL to preserve it and you betrayed him. And now you expect him to just absolve you and send you rain? I am spiritual, I believe we are all divine and in the power of good intentions and have on occassion myself asked for spiritual guidance. However, I am also realistic and understand and respect the natural processes of this planet and our affect on them. The people of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc. can honestly pray if it helps them get through this, but they also need to understand the reality of what is happening. And they should truly be outraged with leaders like Rick Perry who do not have what it takes to lead his state. And he wants to run for president?

God hates Texas

Where are all the fundamental preachers talking about God's wrath?

Who deserves it more than climate change denying, oil pumping Texan republicans.

Texas Progressives, you have my sympathies! Even the livestock has my sympathies.

But I believe that every climate change denying Republican should be staked out in that draught and heat!

As a Texan all I can say is it's hotter than I can ever remember and we haven't had more than a sprinkle in months. It's getting pretty bad

Jan, thanks for all you do. Our country and the world would be a better place if more people like you were in politics.

I would suggest they stop drinking beer and sober up enough to figure out what was wrong.

If we buried Rick Perry up to his neck in the cracked clay of west Texas,.....and left him "old school" indian style to ripen in the sun,....it might propitiate the ancient gods of the land !

A harsh thought,.....but I would be willing to make the sacrifice for the Lone Star State.

Oklahoma isn't a happy place at the moment either.

Bailey posted two videos, but I had no idea it was this bad in Texas. Tell ya what Jan. I'LL pray for rain AND for the farmers. God may rather hear from a nobody like me than some self-righteous hypocrite. Ha!

Gunning down hogs by helicopter? Now that sounds fun.

You know, if you look back at the Depression of the 30s, there was a great deal of banker hanky-panky that preceded the disastrous weather conditions that helped to create that Depression. Reading or re-reading Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" should be on every American's top 10 list of things to do. The parallels are astounding.

Rick Perry needs to turn the Prayer Service on Sunday from a prayer for the economy to a prayer for rain.
Greedy politicians like Perry will never acknowledge the existence of global warming. He will go to his grave denying facts, and spouting lies, and the Koch brothers talking points!

Oh but if you are still praying, pray that farmers don't start committing suicide like they did in Australia.

So, how many animals and people will have to die in Texas as in Africa and other extreme dry places on Earth before the words CLIMATE CHANGE are connected? I read that the La Nina effect has been gone since March. I am so sick and tired of the media covering for these politicians and oil companies! There is an uptick also in the amount of methane in the atmosphere from the GULF blowout and I don't give a damn who doesn't want to believe that has some effect on this area in tipping the scale. I like so many know how these gases work in the atmosphere and how they enhance effects already present. A drought like this is NOT just a product of some "normal" La Nina. Get your heads out of your A$$es US media! People and animals are dying because of your collusion with industry and government!

But hey Rick Perry, are you still praying??
