Well that’s cool, but uh what about the fact that Lake Mead, Lake Powell, and The Great Salt Lake are evaporating.

Also that snow melt in many areas of the west have developed this bizarre pink shit growing on it, rendering it totally not ok to drink or use for agriculture, etc.

The Great Salt Lake has lost more than something like 70% of it’s water, leaving 63% of the lake bed completely exposed.

Scientists are saying it will be gone in less than five years if emergency measures aren’t taken immediately.

Fun fact: also (although there’s been a lot of rain in California lately for a change (source lived in California most of my life)) that west coast folks will be the very first “climate migrants” in the US due to drought, there will literally be a completely untenable water situation within the next 8-10 years…and not just Ca, but much of the American west like Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and more.

I hope they’re wrong, but fear they’re right…
