Seems like we are cycling back to hotter temps and less rain/snow. The desert was not made for large scale settlements. We will be learninghave that the hard way soon.

Thought you didn’t believe in predicting climate when you didn’t have records for a billion years.

I don't. But we do know there are cycles in areas. Hurricane cycles for example. That is different than saying we are in a new global trend.

And we know it is a flipping desert.

This brings up an interesting question. How old does Duffman think the earth is?

Based on his political/religious pandering, I would have guessed ~5000 years or so.

I don't believe anything existed before 1825 or so. If there isn't a photo of it it didn't exist.

And the War of 1812?

In contrast, Stumptown has had one of if not the wettest springs on record; this following breaking the all time temp record by a whopping ten degrees! (old: 106; new: 116)

You need to pump some of our excess precipitation south, maybe to Lake Shasta and from there to the desert SW via existing canal network.

Yeah, it's "political;" maybe do a quid pro quo: in exchange for Nevada agreeing to allow all nuclear waste to be stored underground in Nevada, enough water to satisfy all current and future needs could be pumped south.

Take this junk to the climate thread dudes.

Siphon water from the Great Lakes and send it to the southwest.

'Great Lakes water piped to Southwest 'our future,' says NASA scientist'

Not so fast.

'Great Lakes water levels are 2 feet lower than records set in 2020'

Where's all that water from the ice melt caused by global warming?

My city was supposed to be underwater seven years ago.

Show me a photo, otherwise it never happened. A DVD of the footage would be even better.

I wonder how many sports an amateur, can more or less walk in and attempt to qualify? Granted I've never even come close to the initial qualification.
