Now, parts of the lake many assumed would always be underwater are emerging, bringing sunken boats and even bodies to the surface. NBC News’ Jacob Ward reports from Lake Mead where everyone is scrambling to adapt.

  1. And climate change deniers are currently naval gazing and missing this entirely.

  2. Imagine all the bodies that are actually in Lake Mead. Think I prefer the Bermuda Triangle for my next vacation. Safer….

  3. Reporter: “How often do you have to move em?”

    -“we’ve moved thousands of feet” …..
    🤔

  4. It’s the water companies drilling around the outskirts and removing water from the earth

  5. look beyond all that philosophy.

    i submit that this is judgement.

    and is that a " decent" city not far away?

    a child could answer that.

    " you have your answer". from " the time machine".

    are we good? " are we square?" whats that from?

  6. Glory to our God, Jesus Christ is coming
    Repent and believe in Jesus Christ's name Amen

  7. Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa.

  8. If there’s nothing but air the turbines don’t spin. Sorry

  9. I went to Lake Mead once while living in Vegas; I moved 5 months ago to Florida.

  10. How many more people are drinking from the water source than predicted let's not blame global warming right off the bat ya fkn lunatics

  11. Fill it with ocean water, sell saltwater filtration systems to every homeowner and business that draws water from lake Mead. 💰💰💰 Oh yea, bring sea levels down a itsy bitsy. 😁

  12. Do the doubters believe in climate change now

  13. I’m tired of global warming with most weather records only go back 80 years.

  14. “…this Lake was made for you and Meade…”

  15. Republicans don’t believe in climate change so it’s just fake news that the lake is drying up. Fox News said the water level is fine and the liberal media is exaggerating about the water level. I believe in Fox fake news.

  16. I take great comfort knowing that the really Important businesses like Casinos in Vegas and other Major Employers will have all the water they need for the fountains and pools. I no longer flush at all so we can All make certain water goes where it is Truly and Most Importantly Needed.

  17. That’s what we get with our stupid government

  18. Wow what inaccurate reporting on this! Fact only 1 body found might be mob connection, 2 desert always hot in summer, its growing population in how many states in less than 2 decades with no states finding a solution or even deal with it!

  19. The lefties are still at it, lol. So, during "The Dust Bowl" of the 1930-'s, was there also an issue with "climate change"? Its another one of their scams. They want to switch to electric vehicles. Period.

  20. So do people still believe that climate change isn’t real?
