  DON'T BELIEVE THE HYGROMETER OR YOUR LYING EYES

         NEW REVELATION FROM



   LAKE MEAD IS DRAINING, 

        NOT CLIMATE CHANGING

The media is promoting disinformation on the cause of the reservoir’s record-low level.

T
he water level in Lake Mead is reaching record lows and the popular narrative maintains that drought brought on by human-caused climate change is to blame. But the government’s own data from the Bureau of Reclamation shows this is not true...

As can be seen in the Bureau of Reclamation’s official estimate of the yearly natural water flows into Lake Mead, there has been no long-term trend in water flow into the reservoir.

Most of the water supplying the Colorado River at this location comes from snowmelt in the upper Colorado River watershed. The April snowpack in that region also shows no trend… 

on July 22, Forbes published an article titled “Why Is Lake Mead Shrinking? Climate Change Is a Major Reason.” Also in July, NASA published “Lake Mead Keeps Dropping,” in which the agency stated the reservoir “provides a stark illustration of climate change.”

In fact, climate change does not even predict reductions in precipitation in the region that feeds water to Lake Mead...

The problem is that lazy and biased reporting — even in some scientific reports — has led to the widespread misperception that climate change is responsible for Lake Mead losing water. It’s not.

Lake Mead is being drained. It’s not climate change."


Really Roy ?

Spencer ignores the equally dramatic fall in water level of the Great Salt Lake,  which nobody is draining.

It too has fallen to record lows because radiative forcing  from increased CO2 drives increased evaporation. 

Witness these satellite images of Lake Mead taken before and after Roy's best-known visit to the area, noted here 8 years ago:

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES


The intellectual calm of Las Vegas' was shattered last week as the spirit moved Reverend Doctor Calvin Beisner ThD, a divine of strong Dominionist views, to visit the Mandalay Bay Casino.
The Reverend Doctor came not to cleanse that den of iniquity, but earn an honorarium by presiding at the baptism of  one of the Lord's preterite scientific sheep as the


of the year of Grace 2014, an award given by.

er, I mean the  Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of  Creation, at a Heartland Institute  revival meeting  International Climate Conference event honoring the  Dr. Roy Spencer, who preached the negative global temperature trend gospel in various learned journals until deeper study of The Book Of Nature compelled him to recant  in Science in 2005:  there indeed was global warming, but for two decades he and his colleagues misread NASA's incoming satellite radiometer data, and hence got the sign wrong.
