If it's a natural cycle, then that's probably true. But all anyone
except a serious climatologist has is "suspicions." Real
climatologists have, at least, probabilities.

But judging from the threads going on here, however much warming is
going on, humans are at least generating a vast amount of
anthropogenic wind. d8-)

This is the nature of Usenet.

Whenever I read of California's woes, I can't help but think, "Ain't

That's what you get when you allow nearly unlimited development with
little idea about how you're going to keep all those people, farms,
and industries hydrated. Whoever drinks the last drop from the San
Joaquin River should turn the lights out before he leaves.

Between Milwaukee and Waukesha to the west is the line where the Lake
Michigan watershed and Mississippi watersheds meet. There is a long
standing US-Canada agreement that no one can take water from the Great
Lakes into other watersheds without the agreement of ALL states and
provinces bordering the Great Lakes.

Waukesha is whining that they can't continue to overdevelop the area w/o
Lake Michigan water. Lots of shyster billable hours already wasted, no
sympathy for Waukesha. Once water flows out w/o coming back, how long
before clowns want to waste it on LaLaLand?
