No Climate Change, Huh?

Why is Fort Sumter not under water?

Because the height of the land is higher than the sea level rise. However, sea level rise is attacking the fort. Waves that used to crash against rocks now crash against the stonework.

Oh look, the ancient port of Caesarea built over 2,000 years ago!

Abandoned as a port because it silted up. That is, the land rose.

You would think that conservatives would tire of being on the wrong side of the issues pretty much all of the time. Apparently not. But hey, we're all fallible humans, right? But seemingly, even fallible humans can learn from their mistakes. Except for conservatives, that is.

No, conservatives will likely be denying climate change 50-100 years from now when coastal America is flooded, and we have wildfires in the dead of winter with low temperatures of only about 75 degrees, and our crops are all failing due to a lack of rain and too much heat, and people are trying to recycle their urine at home in an effort to have enough drinking water. My guess is no one will even listen to conservatives at that point, assuming that anyone is crazy enough to admit to being one.

At any rate, everyone is familiar with the concept of the double whammy, right? That's when two bad things happen that might very well be related in some way. Well, this qualifies except that it's more than just a DOUBLE whammy.

Yeah, not only are we losing sources of drinking water and water to irrigate our crops (I don't know about you, but I've gotten used to eating), but if the reservoir falls only another 60 feet during the West's current record heat wave days before summer has even arrived, CA will lose hydropower generation at this reservoir that would normally power hundreds of thousands of homes during the height of the summer heat which is also the peak of the wildfire season. Good times!

A California reservoir is expected to fall so low that a hydro-power plant will shut down for first time​

View attachment 502683

Water in a key California reservoir will fall so low this summer that its hydroelectric power plant will be forced to shut down for the first time, officials said Thursday, straining the state's already-taxed electric grid.

An unrelenting drought and record heat, both worsened by the changing climate, have pushed the water supply at Northern California's Lake Oroville to deplete rapidly. As a result of the "alarming levels," officials will likely be forced to close the Edward Hyatt Power Plant for the first time since it opened in 1967, California Energy Commission spokesperson Lindsay Buckley told CNN.

The water in Lake Oroville — the state's second largest reservoir — is pumped through underground facilities to generate electricity, which can power up to 800,000 homes when operating at full capacity.

While the water level in the reservoir is currently hovering around 700 feet above sea level, if it continues to fall at the currently projected rate to 640 feet there will not be enough water to continue operating the Hyatt plant in two to three months, coinciding with the typical peak of the summer heat and wildfire season.

"If lake levels fall below those elevations later this summer, DWR will, for the first time, cease generation at the Hyatt power plant due to lack of sufficient water to turn the plant's electrical generation turbines," said Liza Whitmore, Public Information Officer of DWR's Oroville Field Division.

The announcement came as California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a statewide heat wave emergency Thursday, with record setting temperatures and increased electricity use adding pressure to the grid.

"Amid a major heat wave that is stressing energy grids in states across the western United States, Governor Gavin Newsom today signed an emergency proclamation to free up additional energy capacity," Newsom's office said in a press release.

The governor's declaration, citing "extreme peril" to the safety residents due to the heat wave, suspends permitting requirements to allow the immediate use of back-up power generators to help alleviate stress on the state's energy grid.
California energy grid officials have called on residents to reduce power through Friday, especially during the evenings when electricity use is at its peak. Scaling back on using power during this peak time of the day will help avoid unneeded rolling power outages and damaged power lines, state officials previously said.

It wasn't originally a shoreline pool. It was a freshwater pool. Now it's swamped by the ocean.

and the shoreline arena is still shoreline?

I'm going to take a guess that the building wasn't literal shoreline when it was built. Letting the waves crash against your structure is not good engineering.

I understand your disappointment. Your cult fed you a story that you thought you could use to really show those dirty liberals. Now you find out it was all BS. That's got to sting. But the solution isn't to deny. The solution is to call out those who lied to you.

And then, try acting like a liberal. When presented with new evidence, follow the evidence instead of attacking the messenger.

The idiots in California allow water to flow into the ocean because they want to protect the delta smelt….this isn’t a climate issue it’s a stupid, left wing government issue…just like their forest fires

Yet they have the technology to capture water and keep it…they just refuse to o it…..farmers in California have been complaining about the delta smelt for decades

180,000 acre, 65 mile long lake is overflowing its banks.

Well California has had drought and water supply issues since the 1920s

California Droughts Compared | USGS California Water Science Center

Historical water-quality data will be used in conjunction with data from water-chemistry samples collected as part of this study. These samples will be analyzed for chemical and isotopic constituents to help evaluate the regional source(s), flowpath(s), and age(s) of water from wells.

ca.water.usgs.gov

It's always been this way. It's part of the geography and geographical location. Every summer people make a big deal about the drought in California for the past 100 years or so. Imagine, heat and drought during the summer time?

And it's also due to the fact they are diverting water out of the lake for use. Lake feather is a major river that is fed by lake Oroville but it is seeing flooding. So if lake Oroville is if having this huge drought then why is a major river that is fed directly and solely from lake Oroville seeing flooding?

And yes climate change exists. It has for about 4.5 billion years. Didn't you ever read a science book in highschool where they talked about world wide floods, world wide droughts, world wide ice age, mass extinctions and so on that happened millions of years ago? Or that the average earth temperature is almost 20 degrees lower now than it was 55 million years ago when the antarctic was a rainforest?
