Lake Mead and Climate Change

Not only do we have no water restrictions but we pay one fee and use as much water as we want.
The tundra is most definitely not frozen in the summer. I work part time In Bethel and see the tundra flying in. Not only do the Kuskikwim and Yukon rivers flow through but there’s countless unnamed lakes that cover the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta which is the size of Texas. Water is unlimited.
You know squat about Alaska.

We have wells. Easy peasy.

For many decades, the rate at which the water was replenished was far greater, allowing water levels to be maintained at a relatively stable level. Now that's no longer the case. Precipitation in the upper part of the river basin has declined dramatically.

Yes. And with modern toilets/appliances, I'm curious if there are studies about usage vs. low water levels?

Dude, Biden never cancelled any American Owned pipeline!

There are lots of American Owned pipelines piping crude and gasoline across the nation!

Try not to be an idiot! It just makes you look like an idiot. [Geeko Sportivo]

Half of the oil pipelines are empty because American oil companies are now just like OPEC

American oil companies have figured out that drilling less, creates more demand, and price equals demand!

Less drilling equals more price- more price equals higher profit margins!

What the oil companies are trying to do is own us!

And they are doing a great job of it!

The Wall St investors are threatening them, and they comply.

Wow. That's bad. Mead has been a fascinating case study for years. They treat sewage at one end, and drink the water at the other.

Between runoff from fertilized lawns, and the birth control hormones in the sewage treatment plants, the lake is creating freaks of nature.

Runoff from fertilized lawns don't drain into Lake Mead. There are no sewage treatment plants on Lake Mead or that discharge into Lake Mead. The L.A. Times is full of bullshit once again.

Bullshit. It's a MAN-MADE lake in the middle of a damn desert. 85 years ago, there was a LOT less water there than there is now (also known as NONE). In 1976, when I lived in Clark county, you could go swimming in that lake, come out of the water, and be bone dry in about 3 minutes trunks and all. Because it was a desert, and there wasn't supposed to BE any water there. Also, the population of Clark county in 1976 was less than 500k, now it's almost 2.5 million, and Clark has almost 74% of the population of the entire state of Nevada! And here's a little snippet from cnn if you don't believe me.

"About a century ago, representatives from seven U.S. states — Nevada, California, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico — struck a deal to divvy up the Colorado River. Hydrologists warned that officials were promising more water than the river could give, according to Fleck. But in an era driven by power and politics, their warnings were largely ignored and plans moved forward."

Same water. Same river. Yes, the lake is man made, but the river flow is not the lake.

The Canadians own the Keystone Pipeline!

Again- DON'T LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!

I said Biden did not do away with any American Owned Pipelines!

Damnit... You snuck in a single word ('American') and shifted away from what was being discussed beforehand without me catching that you did that... Damnit... My bad.

The discussion is not about "American owned" pipelines (nor does it matter who owns the pipelines)... The discussion is about Biden cancelling oil pipelines in general (no matter who owns them), and I provided an example of Biden doing just that... Biden is also pausing (and otherwise doing away with) new oil/gas leases on federal lands (such as ANWR) as well as increasing taxes on oil/gas companies. You can find this information that I have mentioned here on the very same whitehouse.gov website that I pulled my prior post's information from.

Stop being a dishonest disingenuous fuck.
