Severe Weather thread.

That's because it's still cheaper to get water piped in than it is to desal it. But if the pipeline suddenly runs dry then desal will suddenly seem much more affordable.

 

..some of the droughts in CA are self-imposed (search on "delta smelt" if you don't know what i'm referring to...), ...plus much of that state has large population centers built in areas that were never logistically suitable because of the dry arid areas and no nearby sources of fresh water (...i.e. LA basin, for example, ...it used to be a desert..., wholly reliant on aqueducts bringing snow melt water in from the Sierras and other such high country)... phoenix AZ is another large city built in an area devoid of fresh water, ...in fact if you actually go see the southern stretch of the Colorado River as it passes between CA and AZ, ..you'll see it's been "tapped" quite a bit...

 

and climate change

 

...only in canadia...

science deniers

 

...science is continuous learning and re-evaluation, ...science is never "settled"...

 

No denying here. I know a lot of people think it's B.S. mostly because they deny it's partly man made. But there's no denying that history repeats itself. In this case, the climate.

 

totally agree , best thing about science

...being this is the "severe weather thread", ...any insights into the tornado outlook for this season?..

 

Interesting read. Makes complete sense though. I'm not trying to get all political, but I'm conservative in many ways. Although you wouldn't know by looking at me. With that said, you'd have to be pretty close minded or stupid to not admit at least some of it is "our" fault.


Took a long time for people to believe the world wasn't flat. Just sayin.

 

Shitty with crappy periods

 

I thought that was a good article too

 

I just happened to read this the other day, now that you mention it.

Sub'd....just moved to Tulsa, Ok so hopefully the weather dosent get to crazy this year

 

...witty!

...yep, can be devastating, but I believe, fortunately, the vast majority of tornadoes in the U.S. occur over open country w/ limited contact w/ man-made structures, ...the "big ones" that "hit stuff" make all the news...

 

Yeah we're in the heart of Tulsa so hoping they stay away from here.

 

yep, ..but I believe OK is one of, if not "the", state that sees the most tornadoes on average... ...good thing is a whole lot of open country there...

 

You take that back, or I'll post a picture of Brad Marchand!
