    Sprinkle of arsenic on your breakfast sir?

    "the air surrounding Salt Lake City would occasionally turn poisonous. The lake bed contains high levels of arsenic and as more of it becomes exposed, wind storms carry that arsenic into the lungs of nearby residents, who make up three-quarters of Utah’s population.“We have this potential environmental nuclear bomb that’s going to go off if we don’t take some pretty dramatic action,” said Joel Ferry, a Republican state lawmaker and rancher who lives on the north side of the lake."



    La Niña could become the norm for Australia

    collapse of this system — called the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation — would shift the Earth's climate to a more La Niña-like state. This would mean more flooding rains over eastern Australia and worse droughts and bushfire seasons over southwest United States.


    Not good news for the dry in the US? Salt lake city looks grim. Mean while the best snow season in years here. Just wonder re wheat harvesting in Spring/summer IF this is all on the money?


    The Great Salt Lake, which has already shrunk by two-thirds and is accelerating. Bit of a sticky situation.

    I was under the impression that it depended on the barley harvest or something - which implies that it is weather dependent?

    Running out and using more water. The naughty crew get taps turned down in California
    "This week came a measure of last resort. The local water agency began choking the taps of the worst offenders, limiting the water flow of those who flouted water conservation rules, paid the fines, and kept on flouting. Their showers will henceforth slow to a trickle. Sprinklers will be rendered unusable. Good luck refilling the pool. Or the koi pond.“This is not our preferred way of interacting with our customers,” "


    Pumping rights for farms are shut or shutting. "California farms and Bay Area cities ordered to stop diverting water from rivers"

    Dry arguments. Let them drink beer might be a little Marie Antoinette let them eat brioche Ian?

    Just tongue in cheek cynicism John. Gets me questioned every time by those who can't pick it.

    People have to make ice tepees in the Himalayas due to changing weather patterns causing them to run out of glacier melt water. They are basically making their own glacier closer to home that melts at the right time.
