    Re: Climate Change 3: Whatever you do don't call it a twatwaffle

    Was only about 15 years ago that everyone was fretting about record low lake levels, so the highest levels ever, or at least in decades, seem great in comparison.

      Great? By what measure?

        Lake Michigan water levels were getting so low that pieces of infrastructure (boat ramps, docks/piers, etc.) were unusable. People were whining about having to spend money to retrofit them for use. Now with the water some 8' higher, we are on the opposite end of the spectrum.

        In Chicago there are harbors where the water is level with the surrounding walkways. Another 6" of rise and people will have to wade to access their $200k party boat. Shoreline erosion is encroaching on structures that have been in place forever, so people are shocked that they are in danger. The high lake levels have been quite eye-opening.
        It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

          "Just let Nestle bottle that excess water and sell it, that will solve the high water level." (TM) Some GOP Somewhere.


          I will say it's good to see the return of Great Lake lake levels from the low they have been this past decade, but yes, storm surge action is now threatening "safe" structures.

            Ignore this post. I completely misread Fade’s post. I’m dumb when it’s early. Even when it’s not, for that matter.

            Or wait, is fade suggesting that it's better or worse to have high levels. Because it seems immeasurably worse to have the high levels we're experiencing now.

              It seems interesting to me that humans when they build stuff don't consider that water rises and falls and sometimes it rises and falls more than usual.

                On a policy level, Rs have the throttle down on catastrophic change. Maybe when they start to experience major economic losses they will change their tune. Unfortunately, the first and worst suffering will be experienced by the non-white poor around the world, not vacationing golfers.

                On a personal level, everyone, D or R, needs to witness the approaching shytstorm before they will make personal changes, so the more local flooding and other evidence the better, IMO. Because what we are seeing now aint nothing compared to what we will experience if we don't make drastic changes.

                  If you look back in time, most of these lake levels would probably plot to a nice sine wave. The problem is that with global warming and overall rising lake levels, the axis the sine wave is starting to trend upward.

                  Years from now, the new cyclical low water levels for large bodies of water will be much higher than the high water mark was years ago.

                  Other regions will have harder time replenishing water supply because snowpack won't be as thick or last as long into spring and summer, causing less water to "trickle down" as it currently does.

                  More 500 year storms will be frequently seen. Was it Houston Texas that has had three "Hundred Year Storms" in the last decade alone?

                  The oscilloscope of weather is going to swing more violently between it's limits if we continue with the status quo.

                      And it angers me that some of the very same people who told my generation in high school and college merely 20 years ago about these consequences and that action is needed immediately, are now bleating "fake news," "global hoax," and "I milked *my* money from the system, now go fu** yourself."

                        One particularly ugly treat we are in for is witnessing what major money interests will do to protect their assets from global military, political, and economic threat as densely populated areas in Asia, Africa, and SA become agriculturally useless or uninhabitable altogether. That ancient dynamic of the haves protecting themselves against the have-nots is about to ratchet way up. If we think we have immigration issues now, just wait.

                                Wasn't it Exxon who commissioned a climate report in the 80's, and it *nailed* exactly where we would be today if no action was taken?

                                I'm pretty sure the report was linked here.
