CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A PERMANENT STATE OR condition, it is a process of nature that is always changing. It’s the constant change that is permanent. For peoples who have never experienced climate change or global warming there is alarm. They believe we are stuck in some sort of weather pattern that will never change. For those with millenniums of history on the land, it’s “who knows?” In the next fifty years, we very well could be in this same holding pattern. In California we are in our sixth drought of a thirty-five-year drought period (1987–2022). In between our two to five-year droughts, we had El Ni?os, flooding, and abundance of rain, snow, extreme heat, extreme chill. If not for these climatic events we would be experiencing longer drought periods.
