I wish they'd put confidence bounds around statements like, "We're never going to see the reservoir full in our lifetimes again." Is that an opinion based on modeling? Historic evidence of rainfall trends? I understand global warming well enough, but I'm always very skeptical of grand pronouncements about what will happen in the future. Seems hubristic. For example, was anyone predicting a multi-decade drought in the 1990s? Same historical evidence should have been available at that time.
