I would also like to know why my picture was removed and why I can now not replace it.

Yes, the climate has changed just since I was a kid. But the climate has ALWAYS changed, back and forth in cycles since the beginning or time. The jury is still out on whether man has anything to do with it.

So you're saying, like the creepy end to 30 Rock last week, that because of these things we need more laws and political policies in place? Hmm...

Water evaporation. Lack of snowfall. At a much quickened pace. That IS climate change.

Please explain...... water dropping an inch a week due to climate change, rapidly melting glaciers? If the glaciers are melting, why the water level dropping? Look at Lake Meade and see the water 60 feet below normal due to development. Where's the climate change there?

When I read that I repeated it aloud slowly with question! hhhhmmmm so if the glaciers ARE MELTING the water level should be increasing.... another question: doesn't this happen every year during the dry season?

Then you need to read up on climate change and its effects which include increased water evaporation, warmer temperatures, erratic rainfall, changing weather patterns, etc. If you lose the snowfall and snowpack that feeds the glaciers and water evaporation and warmer temperatures increase along with it then not resulting in the rainfall you one had either, what do you think happens?

And make no mistake about it, GM soy cultivation in Bolivia as well as much of South America is also playing a role in soil degradation as well as water shortages. - 2 years ago

And yet politicians sit on their as*es saying we can wait another year for action. Even those who aren't deniers seem to be in denial. I fear the only viable plan now will be to decide where people will be able to move to, and we already know what will happen once climate refugees start going up in number in places where competition will then exist for land, water, etc. How would the US like to be responsible for taking in those whose lives have been ruined by our selfish excessive living?

This is the canary in the coal mine of global warming. to say the very least. This is going to change the lives of so many. What can we as a people do to help these folks out?
