Well, they knew about climate change and CO2 and their contribution..
Why are you waiting . There's plenty of information about this revelation you could access. Unless you really aren't eager to learn.

If that article shows what you say it does, then quote it. I'm not going fishing.
Fate***As an illustration of poor priorities: California is largely desert. Its population has grown quite a bit over the last 50 years. Guess what hasn't? Its water infrastructure (dams, reservoirs, etc.). So, there's a drought and . . . Californians are suddenly supposed to turn their neighbors in. Anyone who ever lived in the Los Angeles area knows what happens whenever it rains: all the water is sent on the fast track to the ocean
Although more efficient collection of rainfall would store the rain that does come would be beneficial its also important to understand that rainfall is only going to get less plentiful unless atmospheric conditions caused by green house gases change,....
That's a presupposition.
.Climate change has likely played a pivotal role in exacerbating the California drought. A team of Stanford researchers have shown that one driver for this is a persistent region of high atmospheric pressure off the state's coast, keeping storms and rainfall away from land. These conditions are much more likely to occur with the high greenhouse gas concentrations that we are experiencing today. In exploring climate model projections, it appears that the situation will get worse

This is also a presupposition. And, even if true, it misses the point: there are things California can do to prepare for (what you claim is) "the inevitable." Here's a hint: no one can drink a high-speed train.
From your link (with my emphasis added):
There are many factors at play here, notably a complex water cycle and conveyance network, as well as a somewhat archaic legal landscape. One thing that all Californians can agree upon is that we need to find solutions, because the drought is affecting livelihoods and the environment in a serious way.

So, this is finely-written speculation. It says there are several factors, then uses words such as "likely," "more likely," and "appears."
That ain't proof.
FateThere should be some kind of "Manhattan Project" to develop an efficient and cheap form of energy.
The Manhattan Project was a government program. Totally funded and run by the government.
And yet you have loudly oppose even subsidies for alternative fuel companies...
There is in fact a rush to solutions...Including some American companies like Tesla. (Their batteries even more than their cars are making a contribution)
But you dump over all of those things regularly too.
Um, as always, you remain singularly incapable of comprehending the English language. Allow me to demonstrate with a question or two:
1. How are Tesla cars a "form of energy?"
2. Which of the "alternative fuel companies" invested in by the government has developed "an efficient and cheap form of energy?"
