What a stupid joke this is…… All 100% avoidable from years back. Now a convenient story for the man made climate change all propagated on a unsuspecting public.
Forty million people rely on Lake Mead? The population of Canada is LESS than forty million.
Canada, the second largest country in the world with the most fresh water. And a carbon footprint
greater per capita than America. A subarctic climate and long distances to travel. I think only Kuwait
and the UAE have a higher per capitia fossil fuel use than Canada. Saudi Arabia is about 40 million too.
1. I propose building a water pipeline from the Mississippi basin capturing fresh water and sending the fresh water to Lake Mead. A wastewater treatment plant may have to be built.
2. I propose building a water pipeline from Chicago, Illinios (Great Lakes) to Santa Monica, California building on or next to "Route US 66''' A law would have to be passed and codified to ensure that only flood and or overflow water would be captured and sent to Lake Mead.
3. I propose building two or more desalination plants on the coast of California.
I would like to see all three of these projects be done and built as soon as possible.
Due to the weather and climate change and considering we have been in a bad drought for over 20 years.
I think this drought is permeant. Waiting for rain to pour down for the next 3 years or more is just crazy and wishful thinking.
We need to get fresh water from as many places as we can
If we can build a "OIL" pipeline from Canada and build a border wall from California to Texas we can do this.
I bet rich and powerful people are diverting the water into their own wells, making it drain faster and faster. Just a nice little conspiracy theory for ya.
Human climate… disagree with that! RED FLAG. Man Doesn't control the climate. he interferes!
nice camel toe wow love the tight pants thanks who cares about the drought when ya wear pants like that
He forgot to mention Human Populations moving to the Southern Western States and their demand for Water !!!. Too many people !!!.
Why did we put so much farmland out in a desert?
There's civil unrest and then there is really civil unrest.
Funny how all the climate change deniers have moved away and left the population to wither. Still voting republican? Enjoy the results! But hey…profits! so they can move away. lol republican voters are so stupid its painful but at least they will die first.
Just imagine Lake Mead in the next 50 years.
Water is everything.
Climate Changers. Those states can get electricity from other states. Stop the turbines. Fill the lakes. But Water must be save for food and our water consumption.
That’s insane. 🥵
Bill. Gates some How created this. He's buying land up. All over the place how did this happen in the first place?????
Farms in the desert. Gee there seems to be a serious problem
Wonder if the b29 will be out of water soon I wanna go walk around it
the Allspark will be found
this is what happens when Homer dumps his pig crap silo in the lake🤣🤣
This isn’t global warming, this is greed at it’s best! When you open up the southwest desert to millions and millions of people and counting and build as many neighborhoods with pools and green grass and plants and trees and fountains, when you do all that ridiculous things in a desert and it runs dry omg 😱 a grade school child could tell you a desert can not support what greed created…….
Humans didn't cause global warming 🙄 You boneheads should know the earth has been warming since the last ice age. Look at prehistoric animals found under ice and glaciers…THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED BEFORE AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN….. DUH 🙄 Adapt and survive…
Not good and yes it has to do with westher man and other things but needs to be addressed such a big body of water thst is so detrimental to many ppl id different states so i hope theres a way
Im glad she said it at the end…
It was never sustainable to have cities and mass agriculture in the fucking desert with limited water resources. It was never sustainable and it probably wouldn’t have been even if climate change wasn’t happening. But hindsight is 20/20 I guess, humans are lying in the bed we made and have chosen to die in it.
Believe in climate change now, bro.?
Kyra: "Wow, this is such a bummer for me and my family, we used to go to Lake Mead every summer.." Miss the point much? Like a scane out of don't look up.
So has California cut back yet? Are they still watering those nuts and avocados?
Don't forget the great flood of 1862 rained for 45 days straight we are way overdue for a 1 and 1,000 Storm we have had 6 ARK Storm's larger than the 1862 flood history repeats itself over and over 1862 created are rivers remember I said that it's all or nothing the all will be worse than the nothing be safe out there
So we will pipe fuel and oil halfway across the globe but we can't put in pipelines from the old Mississippi river to the Colorado ? Right, right. Desalinization stations? Really pushing this climate change script , follow the money. Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining.
Man made problems caused by the military industrial machine messing with the weather.
maybe states along the mississipi river should cover for the west produce-wise.
