Why is Lake Mead Running Dry?
Roy W. Spencer
In The News: Lake Mead water levels dropping to record low levels is usually blamed on "drought", but there has been no statistically significant long-term trend in water availability since Hoover Dam was finished in the late 1930s. What HAS changed is that DEMAND for water from 25 million people (who want to live in a semi-desert region where the sun almost always shines) has almost doubled. As a result, long-term water demand has been exceeding supply since around 2000. This is the main reason Lake Mead is losing water.

Apparently, climatologists are not trained in the concept of supply and demand...

At least not those the government supports and the media listens to Dana. Dr. Spencer is a different breed of cat. But then he was a meteorologist and not a climatologist.

Whatever his line is, he knows what he's talking about.

Yes he does, which is why the Gang Green hates him so much.

No matter what kind of shenanigans I might think I'm up to, I would NOT mess with Donald Trump! He knows what he's doing.
