If we ride our bikes more, we will need more food for energy. That will require more energy used to plant or feed, harvest or slaughter, clean, pack , ship and refrigeration to store. I think that I'll just go back to bed!
Changing yes, possible a cycle, maybe. Not sure what was going on with lake Mead in the 30's but the levels were also low. And then again in the 60's. Some steady declines and also steady rises. Back in the early 2000's we were being told the Great Lakes were drying up due to climate change. Now at least Lake Erie is at record levels. But there is also a historic cycle. Check out the number of hurricanes over the years, (edit) There is a slight upward trend in the numbers. More severe? maybe because there is more to get damaged and things cost a lot more. Plus they are current, people tend to forget the past. http://www.stormfax.com/huryear.htm
Nobody denies the climate changes - Always has & likely always will. Why ppl think that it should be static in our time and the causes of it are the only the real questions. We're entering a grand solar minimum. It's likely to get colder soon which IMHO is why there is such hysteria - the elite know this and know that enacting their agenda is now or never.
Lake Mead is a dam controlled lake........ Not a viable source for any honest info........... Watch the 1974 movie Chinatown....... Now for what its worth the climate is always changing and has been for millions of years..... No POS arrogant human is going to stop or alter that fact. Only God and mother nature can do that......
I don't know about that. A lot of people in my neck of the woods are not calorie deprived. I think they are saving them up for a long hard winter.
I am not doubting the water levels are low but I was showing that they have been low before in the past. As for your water level photos, I am not sure if that is the water line or a different type of rock. I saw the same line at the grand canyon when we visited (the day after visiting Hoover Dam). Is that a water line or rock stratification? I don't know. Surely not a water line at the Grand Canyon
I was referring to the question about the Grand Canyon. It is a water line where sedimentation was laid down along the great plain that became the Grand Canyon due to the Colorado River carving it.
Just a coincidence that the grand canyon ring is around the same level as the lake mead ring that is down stream of the Colorado river. From the graph in my other post, the dam was completed in the 30's so it shows the lake filling up, thus the reason for the low water level. Would climate change be responsible for the high water levels from 1960 to 2000? Or only negative results considered climate change?
Water that evaporates in one place, falls as rain somewhere else. The biggest problem with Lake Mead is too many people have their straws in it.
The "white" rock layer in the Grand Canyon is Coconino sandstone. Laid down during the Permian period. Last period of the Paleozoic era, or "early life". The entire area was once under water. Later uplifted and eroded in more modern times - 7 to 10 million years ago, some argue the erosion starter much earlier.
We have shale from Devonian period (part of the Paleozoic era) in our area Western NY, also underwater at one time. I still have many Trilobites that I collected as a kid and have taken my boys to collect some of their own in the same places I found mine. The simple things in life are the best..... More thread drift ...lol
I think it's fair to say that water demand from Lake Mead has never been higher. My bank account balance works on an identical principle By the way, solar panels absorb much more solar heat than most soils. It won't be long before these are accused of contributing to global warming...
So true my Indiana brother ! We don't got zillions of peeps using up all the water in massive urban sprawl The view from my front porch never changes except for the seasons...... Peace WildBill
