That's a pretty ****ty attitude about it. These farmers supply the nation with food. That fish will survive.
That fish wouldn't even be there now if California would have left the water where it belonged in the first place.
Lose a bit of farming because of a fish? Well, the powers that be, or have been, should have thought of that before deciding to pipe the water in over hundreds of miles across state lines ...
Fear, plain and simple, you're using fear. It will not collapse, they will not go extinct. The water will not completely dry up, enough will adapt to keep the species alive.
There's a lot to "fear." The fact that you have chosen to simply dig in your heels and live in denial, because the sober truth is too much for you to accept, motivates you to accuse others--who actually know something about these issues--as perpetrating "fear" deceitfully. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The water will NOT necessarily "adapt." I guess you don't know much about how marine ecosystems function, do you?
Which land? And why do you think that land is "barren"? Do you know anything about it, in particular, based in fact?
Ever been to Montana? There's a dying state. Primarily because of the devastation wrought by mining: soil erosion, deforestation, water poisoning, and the eco-collapse that resulted. All because the mining companies were allowed to circumvent environmental laws. And many of them simply walked away--legally--from the environmental fallout of their illegal business practices. The taxpayer had to pick up the tab.
The land between Bakersfield and Merced, generally running from the west side of Highway 99 and somewhat to the west of I-5. The area was full of vines, fruit trees and tomato crops, now mostly just brown dust kicking up over the highways.
We take I-5 down to LA, and return on Highway 99, so we get to see most of the valley.

doesn't matter one bit. what matters are the facts.. it's a done deal, the pipeline is there, the farms are operational. killing them off like this is disgusting.

Nope. There are consequence for stupid land planning. Humanity has got to stop thinking it can just alter landscapes any which way and Nature will adapt. Because, most often, it won't.
