Photography is well into it's second century. I'd love to see pictures of the sea/shore compared from decade to decade... New York Harbor or Alcatraz. How much deeper is Pearl Harbor today than it was you were born? Footage from '41, then from the 70's with "Tora Tora Tora", and now today. The British pleasure piers that have been there for 100+ years, the beaches of Normandy. And now it turns out that there is a river UNDERGROUND beneath the Amazon that is bigger than the Amazon that was just discovered. Climate hysteria is like going all-in before the cards are unwrapped or shuffled, before you even know what game you are playing.
@@spacescatatford The Atacama Desert has places that have been dry for 150 million years... I bet you are thanking the Ogallala Aquifer. Or it is a public works dam from the 1930's? I think the pictures of the dedication ceremony of the Statue of Liberty in 1886 compared to pictures from the 100th anniversary would be interesting too.
@@Ron-d2s I'm talking about the entire Southwest United States. We are down to 1951 cattle herd levels. Even here in Kansas City, we are being forced to ship livestock feed from the East Coast.
@@spacescatatfordyou are greatly oversimplifying market fluctuations. Why do you have to import stuff from the East Coast when the Midwest is closer? Everything in your statement makes no logical sense.
I love when people say "climate change has created the worst situation in over X years". My first thought is "we didn't have global warming back then, and the same thing happened".
Humans have been changing the climate for the last 10,000 years by cutting forests which blocked the uptake of CO2, and farming which released additional CO2 and CH4 into the atmosphere.
dont know much about mead and tahoe.. but here in az where i live people are always complaining about how low the "lakes" are.. and im sitting here going "theyre reservoirs, not lakes"
The population keeps going up and up and UP and every citizen needs water. Maybe there's a limit to how much water that nature can provide for a growing population, especially in an area that's already dry. That means that "climate change" may not have a thing to do with it.
In 1992, the Tahoe\Reno region was 6 years into a drought. The authorities said it would take 30+ years to return the lake to full pool if the drought ended that winter. That same summer MIT published a finding that there was a petrified forest 300 feet deep in Tahoe. They said it would have taken a 3000 year drought for that forest to grow there. The winter of '92\'93 we got so much snow that they declared the drought over. MT Rose was open for skiing, with natural snow, on July 4th. Tahoe recovered most of its water loss that year. So, nothing new here...
@@taylorthetunafish5737 Please act like an adult in this forum. Consider the historical cycles not the hair on fire activists “computer models” that assume crazy theories.
Here in Minnesota, anytime their is a day without rain, the media is screaming: drought, drought, drought. What do they call it when we actually have a drought?
@@sess122 Temperature records from thermometers and weather stations exist only for a tiny portion of our planet's 4.54-billion-year-long life. By studying indirect clues-the chemical and structural signatures of rocks, fossils, and crystals, ocean sediments, fossilized reefs, tree rings, and ice cores-however, scientists can determine past temperatures.
Since I've been boating on Lake Michigan, the level has been so low so that the marinas all had to dredge, (caused by climate change) Then a few years later it was so high, parking lots were flooding (caused by climate change) Now it's back to near average again (irrelevant to climate change) i.e. there's no possible observation that could ever refute climate change, which tells you how 'scientific' the theory is.
Same here in Florida. The whole "global cooling", global warming", "man made global warming" and now "climate change" is nothing but evil Communists with their never ending labeling, to control and extort billion$ from naive, gullible citizens.
A worker who helped put in the new pipe for freshwater from Lake Mead told me that a significant amount of water is being wasted due to MINING, in particularly Lithium mining, which consumes a significant amount of water.
Other than the unchecked explosive growth that some areas of the Southwest (like Las Vegas) have incurred, the primary reason Lake Mead water levels are dropping is this: They're letting the water out 24/7. Forty years ago we used to play downriver of the dam. There were times that the water coming out wasn't much more than a trickle. Now it runs wide open 24/7. And really, even the unchecked explosive growth wouldn't be such a factor if there weren't communities with man made lakes and golf courses everywhere. Thank you for your videos.
Water release from Lake Mead is a needed to keep downstream Lakes Mojave and Havasu topped off in order to draw water to supply Arizona and California entitlements from the Colorado River. Lake Mead only supplies water directly to Las Vegas. I fondly recall the good years as a young man in the last century when we spent many summer weekends boating and cove camping on Lake Mead when the lake was near or close to full pool. We could even take the boat upstream beyond the lake to the Grand Canyon boundary. I'm 78 now and don't expect to see those conditions in my remaining years.
Tell them to watch Tom Nelson podcast 232. Then they can learn the actual science concerning the so called climate change. It's over an hour long, so hopefully they don't have a five minute attention span.
I doubt the water level at Tahoe has changed much since I lived there in the mid 70s. The dams at Lake Tahoe were built to stem the overflow from snow melt in the surrounding Sierras. It doesn't always work that well. I recall in the early sixties, as an 11 year old, they called in the National Guard, and the airmen from Stead Air Base (long since closed down) to stack sandbags several feet high, in Reno to protect businesses from the flood waters of the Washoe River that was several feet over its normal banks. Lake Mead's level drops because of the water usage in the desert that is now known as the Imperial Valley, and Los Angeles Basin.
So, why is Lake Powell, upstream of Mead, and Lake Havasu, downstream of Mead, doing ok? Because it was decided to use Mead as the compensating reservoir for the other two. Also, under the Bush admin, a little known project was instituted to see the Colorado River flow into Baja California for the first time in over 20 years.
We live here in AZ. Some climate people do not understand that this is a desert. We average less than 8" of rain a year. A lot of that is from our Monsoons. They claim that our underground aquafer is losing water faster then it gains and that might be true. Most of that is from the Alfalfa farmers. That crop needs a lot of water. Now I am hearing that we are about to set a record for the hottest summer on record, beating last years record. People need to understand that the so called climate change has nothing to do with what is happening here. In the 20 years that we have lived here the population and construction has increased so much. More people means more water usage. More heat is from less desert. I appreciate your report and I agree with you. The Earth goes through cycles. Maybe next year will start a new cycle of being wetter and cooler then now. Who knows. Please keep sharing the truth. Thank you
Thank you for your report😊 I always say that we needed more reservoirs because of the population growth most of the water goes back to the ocean once our reservoirs reach max capacity😢
Where I live my property was once under a glacier 10,000 years ago. Did climate change melt this or did cave men have to big of fires. Did dinosaurs have too much gas. It's called the planet going through its cycles.
People probably don’t know, but there was a study made in 1963, it was leaked in 1967, where a group of rich and influential people had a report made about almost everything on the planet, from wars, to politics, population control, food supply, land ownership, etc. It was more or less to get control of it all and how to get there. Well they said in the report that climate among other things, could be use as a tool to get the population to agree to eventually give them control of the planet. Not long after that, they started talking about ice age that eventually changed to global warming, to whether extreme, to where we are at today, climate change. Although the controlled media said in 1967 after the report was leaked, it was a conspiracy theory, like they usually do today when people stop believing the lies, we see about everything in that report happening. I would expect soon to see a fake aliens attack, economic crash, famine, depopulation and a world war, because it was in that report. All of it used by them as a tool to own everything.
Depopulation is due to start happening any day now. Birth rates have fallen percipitously in the last half century. Population decline happens slowly until it happens suddenly, but it shouldn't surprise anyone who has been watching birthrates.
Both Las Vegas and LA are stupid with water usage, as evidenced by the new SoFi stadium water feature and don’t get me started on all the water features in Vegas that are a huge waste of water.
Kinda like the Canadian wild fire claims - Climate change 1780’s style according to Wikipedia - New England's Dark Day occurred on May 19, 1780, when an unusual darkening of the daytime sky was observed over the New England states[1] and parts of eastern Canada.[2] The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires,[3] a thick fog, and cloud cover. The darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It did not disperse until the middle of the next night.[4][
Thanks again for keeping this honest in real!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I just read an article saying homeowner insurance rates are going up because of climate change. What a joke.
I live in rural Nevada and we just had a non-renewal of home insurance and then a non-renewal of auto policies (through a different company), both for reasons that did not exist. I've never experienced that before (and I'm old) so something is going on.
I love this young lady telling us how it is. Water levels, temperature levels, rain fall average has fluctuated throughout time. We are being lied to as we were about covid.
The Colorado River is what fills Lake Mead. Th8s is a western river, a creek y eastern & Midwestern standards. It's about 1/30th the water flow of the Mississippi River
As always you use pure common sense. After many decades I've seen many changes in dam levels and fluctuations in the seasons and I REMEMBER them but the "Climate Change mob" do not listen, even refuse to listen. I hope your audience multiplies until common sense prevails, or God help us.
If you research back to the original "sustainability study" you will find that a decade later they realized that they had made a crucial error. The study was based on a short term period that provided above average rainfall and snowmelt. They have known the problem was coming for decades but ignored it because it politically easier.
And yes, there can be droughts and excessive rain at the same time. When it rains too hard and too long, most of the rainwater isn't absorbed into the ground but runs off, down streams and rivers, and eventually into seas and oceans.
Great information. I think the Heartland Institute is being censored by RU-vid, I had a really hard time finding related videos about climate change from the search.
In my lifetime, I've noticed we have thing with our climate, which we call: "cycles." I've also notice that long range predictions have NEVER come to pass, but it doesn't stop the propagandists from continuing to prognosticate, which about the same accuracy as the ground hog on Feb.2. When I was a boy, "the ice age" was imminent, and it was going to wipe out food sources of grain in the prairies, citrus in FL and all manner of produce in CA. Then, in my 20s "acid rain" was going to deforest the entire N. East and decimate even the cities there, eating away all the building and creating undrinkable water for 20% of the country. Then it was global warming, of which ALGORE made millions from a movie with all kinds of predictions of the end of the world, the icecaps, and the flooding of all low lying coastal regions. Well, he was part right, about the LYING. Now, they call it "climate change" to cover their bases no matter what happens, but we've always called it a "change in climate." Funny enough, my grandparents noticed the same back in the 1920s.🤨🤨
Some past climate models proved to be quite accurate. And, I've criticised many of the claims in Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' in another video, as have many scientists. But remember, his claim - that human emissions of CO2 are rapidly warming the planet to temperatures never experienced in human history - is correct.
Tahoe has never been as low as it was at the low point of 1908 Since 1909. Man made climate change is real Yesterday when I got up it was 57 degrees. As cars start driving around it started warming up. later in the day when people start parking there cars for the night it started cooling down. I have been taking data on this for 50 years. It is scary how easy it is for Man to influence the weather.
1:37 those impressive levels dropped because the orchard that went in and wasted water. Those orchards were sterilized from organic matter in the soil, probably because it wasn’t as pretty. Orchards love their own fruit and leaves to break down and return. Maybe not all the orchards do that, but the few I’ve seen were not environmentally conscious.
Lake Mead , Hoover Dam! When it was built everything was fine, but they patted themselves on the back and for how long did nothing else! How many million people and how many thousands of swimming pools? It’s now the Climates fault that they didn’t Do Their Job!
@@oliverheaviside2539 - Celebrities & Politicians always bring up climate change. And yet fly around the world in their private jets. Not to mention they own yachts and large mansions that put out a lot of carbon.
I am old enough to remember the sky was falling in the 80s. Anyone know where acid rain went? Did we cure it? Also the hole in the ozone used to be a big deal and I haven’t heard it mentioned since the 90s.
When I went through Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon in 1997 the population was about 1.3 million. Now the population is about 2.97 million. If you're going to nearly TRIPLE the population of ONE CITY that draws it's water from the Colorado, that's going to be presented as lower water levels. And that's just ONE city. Y'all bragged about how nice your weather was out west, so people moved.
I think you’d have to look Beyond a 10 year period of time to look at the long-term trend. There’s also the matter of water extraction that would have to be factored in to the calculations as well. The next 10 years should settle the matter
How about less golf courses? They’ll require a million plus gallons per day in the Southwest. One of the most prized golf courses in the world was in Guantanamo Bay Cuba until the US cut the waterline from Castro. Today they water the tee area and the greens. The weeds and brush are removed from the fairways and there par went up because hitting a 260 yard shot and having it hit a rock on the third bounce and going into the rough increased the challenge.
Good point young lady👍I often wonder how they measure the sea level, and keep pounding us that it is rising, to my knowledge it is the moon that causes high tide.. because of the magnetic drag to the oceans, so there is a constant move of up, and downs i the tide waves, must be very inaccurate, if the waters in see is rising, the best place to observe must be places like in lakes, or kanals connected to the sea, like Venice, kanals in London, Copenhagen, New York, etc. To my knowledge the canal boats are still sailing all over the world with no problems.
