We are entering a new climate reality. It is more than likely we will see more droughts that will be both more intense and more frequent.
Catalonia’s regional president Pere Aragonès said when announcing the emergency.
Euro News reported: ‘Washing a car, watering a garden or filling a swimming pool could result in fines of up to €50 ($54). If a citizen in Barcelona committed a serious ‘water offence’, they could be fined up to €3,000 ($3,250). The rules will apply to six million people in Barcelona and the 201 surrounding municipalities in northeastern Spain.’
On top of this, water sequestration will be enforced on conventional farming as well. Euro News wrote: ‘Agriculture and industry will also face cuts. The regional emergency declaration aims to reduce water for crop irrigation by 80%, for livestock by 50% and for industry by 25%. The less populated southern part of the region is fed by the Ebro river and is in better shape.’
The water conservation plans are broken-up into three stages and will vary depending the continued severity of the drought. ‘Water consumption is limited to 200 liters per person per day; in the second phase, it will fall to 180 liters; and in the most severe phase, to 160 liters,’ Euro News explained. Spaniards reportedly use 133 liters a day.
Some local councils can even be hit with fines to force adequate water mitigation. Already some individuals near the town of Esponellá in Girona are facing a €3,000 infraction fee for using way too much water in excess, while the town was trying to conserve every drop.
Officials are also considering throttling back water pressure, though authorities in Barcelona do not expect this unless the draught worsens by July.
Annelies Broekman, a water management specialist at the Barcelona-based research institute CREAF, told the Associated Press that this draught is being exacerbated by climate change, and is forecast to persist for years to come.
Droughts are natural in the Mediterranean climate pattern. What is very dramatic are the projections of climate change. … What we are seeing is an increase in the intensity and frequency of droughts.

These past few years a number of countries have reported facing droughts that have threatened global food supplies, as reported by The WinePress across a number of different reports.

And here comes more of the artificial famine… ‘Don’t water your garden, don’t water the fields: come take our government subsidy and handouts.’
It’s interesting because last week the University of Michigan comes out with this total propaganda study, published in The Telegraph, which says backyard gardens emit 6 times more carbon than conventional farms. And now Spain is telling people not to water their gardens or face a fine. SEE: New Study Claims Homegrown Garden’s Carbon Footprint Is 6 Times Greater Than Conventional Farming
These droughts and “climate change” related problems concerning drought and famine has already been scripted and planned for. Expect and prepare for incoming meat and carbon taxes…

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
Acts 11:28 – and another “great” one is being orchestrated now
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Spain is getting what she deserves.
Spain is what I like to call “The OTHER Vatican.”
Jesuits operate in and from that nation – one notable example is that Catholic university in Salamanca where the NIV was translated or partially translated, but either way.
Satan controls that nation.
The fact that droves of human predators and their parasitic co-dependents are taking advantage of this crisis tells us: Yes, there IS, in fact, a crisis! Too bad there’s now a predatory counter-movement seeking power by trying to convince people the underlying crisis doesn’t exist, because the members of the Climate Nomal Cult can’t mentally separate the problem itself from the perverted response to the problem.
Reasonable solutions abound, but neither side is willing to hear them because doing so would nix their power grabs. And put a pin in the childish belief by the Climate Normies that the world was put here to satisfy human wants and we can ask anything of Mother Earth, give nothing back, and she will dutifully provide in perpetuity with no consequences. What immaturity.
Climate change is a dance between natural and human forces. It has brought down many civilizations previously. A few adapted and survived. The current problem, unfortunately, is global and coming at a time when technology and population density have made traditional options like migration impossible. And political predation from the elites, combined with bureaucratic and social inertia, are making implementation of positive coping strategies like regenerative agriculture, impossible. So, we’re in a global bind simultaneously refusing to acknowledge that an underlying problem exists, and refusing to haul off and get rid of the predatory leadership using the crisis to eviscerate us.
Humanity is collectively immature, unwilling to learn from the past, and collectively willing to be held captive and preyed upon. This will not end well for us.
