Not politics, legislation of the wrong kind.

Even in '87, when my mother rafted the colorado with a women's group, it was stressed. They had to schedule it a certain time or or something because of irrigation and generation draws from the river. Maybe it was certain rapids were only passable if the generation deductions were small.

It seems to be getting worse... they have less than two months to decide how they will address this before the federal government steps in.

Dik,
Having a hard time following you. Who is/are “you” in that post?

I'm just highlighting some of the ugly 'coming up' and it could get a lot uglier.

Surprising how hard it is to convince adult engineers what is happening in front of their eyes.

Keep the faith dik

“Adult engineers” are convinced by facts and evidence. It is a fact that Death Valley is a hot location, and it is also a fact that flash flooding occurs in the ridge and valley topography of Appalachia. But are those facts evidence of worldwide climate change? I think not, but dik is influenced by many anecdotal events.

The Dismal River. Wonder how it got that name?

The pictures I see appear to be houses built on a flood zone beside the river. I'm not sure what the message should be, but I'm not going right to climate change. It appears to be stupidity more than anything.

Sorry Hokie... the anecdotal stuff (ie. facts and evidence) just corroborates the science.

Soooo…what’s the temperature in Death Valley today? Because it is crucial to the debate.

Although only deniers call it a ‘debate’.

Lionel,
Dismal River is an apt name for a stream that flows through that dismal part of Appalachia. Ever seen the movie ‘Deliverance’? Similar sort of country and people.
