" Wildfires Blazing And Fresh Water Is Mixing With Rising Salty Oceans "

* Water Redistribution Absent *


Why is a portion of the abundant fresh water flows from the great lakes not redistributed to reverse desertification of the united states ?

Will the climate change pundits continue to blubber about rising ocean levels due to polar caps melting and absolutely ignore a seemingly convenient and obvious remedy of redistributing water rather than watching it all drain down river ?

More than 30 percent of North America is comprised of arid or semi-arid lands, with about 40 percent of the continental United States at risk for desertification [source: U.N.].

Seventeen states in the Western U.S. can be categorized as arid, semi-arid or dry subhumid based on climate and soil type; this characterizes them as vulnerable to desertification. The most severely affected areas in the U.S. are in New Mexico, Texas and on the Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico and Arizona. Overgrazing, which has led to wind and water erosion, and poor irrigation are the leading causes of desertification in the U.S., and scientists believe it's unlikely these areas will mend naturally from the damage in the next 100 years.

With the establishment of the Soil Conservation Service after the damaging 1930s dust bowl, the U.S. recognized desertification as a national problem and the government began providing financial support and resources to put appropriate agricultural practices into place. Together, state and federal agencies and nongovernment organizations work with private ranchers, farmers and developers on technologies that help reduce soil loss, improve irrigation and draw on renewable energy sources.


. Humans are pumping out so much groundwater that it's changing Earth's tilt .
Earth's tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet's interior.
 
Piping water across half the country has to be about the dumbest and most expensive proposition I have ever seen.
Progressives would block a construction project that huge for a 100 years in litigation.
And no, the western arid states are not welcome to our water from the Great Lakes states. They made their bed with development in inappropriate areas and can figure it out for themselves.

The objections by environmentalists is for pipeline transport of materials that are toxic to the environment due to leaks .

The environmentalists would object to the land acquisitions for 1,800 miles of right of way and the decades long construction using heavy equipment across multiple states all with differing water rights laws.

It is not a practical solution to an area that is historically dry.

Water from the great lakes is already being diverted by geography and directly draining great lakes need not be implied .

How long would the great lakes last without snow melt ?

In consideration of melting ice caps , should something begin now to more effectively utilize fresh water resources over time , rather than haplessly letting it intermix with sea water and investing in desalination plants to satisfy water demands ?

Which volume of water directed west would produce sufficient progress over time against desertification , and what would be estimates in costs and value ?

Can anyone show us a photo documenting "ocean rise?"

If not, WHY?
 
The idiocy required to equate "warming" with more fires is par for the course of how stupid Global Warmers really are...

The lack of water is associated with more fires , desertification and increases in thermal energy .

Water is also diminished through desiccation , where a contributor to desiccation is clear cutting and cattle grazing .

The extent of water distribution and soil saturation in the us naturally decreases further west of the great lakes .

The issue presented in this thread it whether recouping a portion of water from great lakes , via natural rivers and deltas , thereby moving water further west , would be a reasonable expectation of competent us land management ?

Note on Sea Ice: Melting sea ice (like the Arctic ice cap) does not significantly contribute to rising levels because it is already floating in the ocean.

Key contributors to this potential rise include:

  • Antarctic Ice Sheet: Roughly 60 meters (200 feet).
  • Greenland Ice Sheet: Roughly 7.4 meters (23 feet).
  • Mountain Glaciers: Approximately 1 meter (3 feet).
According to a 2023 NOAA report, a 2-meter (6.6-foot) rise is possible by 2100 under high-emission, rapid-collapse scenarios, which is a key focus of current research, as detailed in reports from Antarctic Glaciers and the USGS.

Global mean sea level has risen about 4 inches from 1993 to 2023. ... Total rise since 1880 is 8–9 inches.

Future Projection: If the current trajectory continues, global sea levels could rise by over 16.9 cm (about 6.6 inches) in the next three decades.

Overall, the cumulative mass loss from the Antarctic Peninsula is dominated by the West coast (George VI, West Graham Land, Wordie, and Stange) and Larsen A and B since 1995 and 2002, for a total 2.5 0.4-mm SLR since 1979. The mass loss tripled after the 1990s, averaged 24 Gt/y in 1979–2017, with an acceleration of 16 Gt/y per decade.

It's not practical to accept the GreenHeads' right to have any political power at all. They would be a harmless fringe group without their powerful paternal connections, so abolish all birth privileges.
