Scientists will get $25 million to study salt lake ecosystems in the drought-stricken U.S. West, as President Joe Biden signed legislation Tuesday allocating the funds in the face of unprecedented existential threats caused by the lack of water.

Let's piss away another few million on another worthless study. And people cannot even pay for their heating.

Fail to see why it would not be a worthwhile study

You have absolutely no idea on what the study is even about, nor its impact in the drought stricken west, yet you call someone an "idiot".

Priceless.

You know, science, who needs it.

Here is your study, it's a salt lake desert.

I don't want to h ear anything more about what this fake president does (except maybe... ?)

Give me the real president, the one who won

We get idiotic projects like this in "omnibus spending bills" because the bills are written by young dipshit Congressional staffers who each have THEIR OWN pet projects. The congressmen only look for the part they care about and don't edit out this nonsense. Then the bill isn't debated since there is no time to read the entire bill and VOILA! we get stupid pork projects like this.

There is nothing about this project that you can point to as a "stupid pork project" when the West is running out of water and the future means the Colorado River can no longer produce enough water for 7 Western states.

Keep your head up your ass if you choose to. The adults are in charge now.

Seems like a very worthwhile study...

The lakes are apart of the ecosystem and business in the area... Utah has already allocated $40m to the study as it effects business there too..

Drought and water management is vital to not only the enviroment but also human & business development.

The OP here has really just made a top class fool of himself.. Don't worry that won't have him rethinking before the next post..

Less rain equals less water.

TADAAA......


Reminds me of Jim Cantore standing in the middle of a hurricane, reporting how windy and rainy it is.

And what is the effect on the Salt Lake ecosystem. Less rain means increased salinity. What will be the impact on local wildlife?

The lakes often serve as critical habitats for migratory birds. Dust exposed by receding water levels can be blown into the air and have dangerous health effects on surrounding communities. And further depletion threatens the canals and infrastructure that a multi-million dollar mining industry needs to extract salts from the lakes.

It's called money laundering.

The stuttering shit clown needs to pay off his donors - the elections aren't going to steal themselves... right?

Utah is already spending $40m, the Army Engineers are spending $10m...

So you think that the Federal top up is pork...

US has a huge water management problem(see below)

Sorry the adults are in the room now and burying your head in the sand is not an option.

What are they going to do when they run out of other people's money?

I suspect the animals will move.

The only time the Trump clan cares about birds is when there are windmills around, otherwise, screw that habitat.

A lot of people remain oblivious to the effects of a shrinking Great Salt Lake, and the health impacts of what a windstorm can bring to Salt Lake City. The base of this lake is toxic.

They'll print more. The stuttering fuck and his handlers are only capable of linear thinking. Somebody points to the signature line, Plugs ends up with another opulent mansion (which will make 7), Hunter gets a few more kilos of crack and then it's off to sniff a few 9-year olds and shit the bed like a demented shut-in. It's a perfect routine for an older pedophile that's exhausted from 50 years of industrial grade lying and just wants to shower with his daughter and go to sleep.

Fail to see why it would not be a worthwhile study

We live in the second driest state in the nation, but we treat water like it’s a commodity that’s always going to be there,” Perry says.
According to the Utah Rivers Council, 85 percent of the Great Salt Lake agriculture,
7.5 percent for industrial, and
7.5 percent for residential.

Who’s to blame for our Great Salt Lake problem?

Here’s where the water is going and what we can do about it.

But Salt Lake is not the only water supply at fault due to Climate Change... according to most climatechangeevistas!

But as they are wrong about Salt Lake, they have been wrong about all those climatechangevistas about Lake Mead!

Lake Mead has been slowly rising — now at 1,046.3 feet — and is now about 5.5 feet above where it was near the end of July (1,040.6 feet). It’s about 21 feet below where it was a year ago today. Lake levels are expressed as altitudes — the number of feet the lake’s surface is above sea level — not as depths.
The 23-year drought has taken a heavy toll on Lake Mead, which is now 28.6% of capacity. A single year of heavy snowpack won’t recharge the water system that millions of people rely on, but any good news is welcome as climate change forces communities in the desert Southwest to re-evaluate how water is being used.

Colorado snowpack levels at 229% of average, a good start for Lake Mead

Snowpack in the Upper Colorado River Basin is more than double the average normally seen at this time of the year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s website.

OK let's do a little calculations.

How many people in California today: 2022 over 39,350,000... Colorado river water first used in 1910: 2,377,549
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_California_(1900–present)
How many residential swimming pools in CA in 1910 -ZERO...How many pools today: 1,180,000 swimming pools in 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_California_(1900–present)
How many gallons of water in average residential pool: 15,360 gallons. Pool Volume Calculator: How Many Gallons of Water Does Your Pool Hold?
o when the Colorado river was supplying all and MORE of CA water needs population was 2,377,549
and no swimming pools.
BUT today due to "CLIMATE CHANGE"... water stores at dangerous lows!!!! OH my goodness! "The sky is falling...because of climate change"!!

Well if California would quit wasting their money on stupid shit. The could build plants that would take salt water and make it drinkable. But that would solve the problem and government couldn't do that.
