Got that right, our 2 passes have been closed all the time in the last couple months, no place to put the snow from the roads.
Lake Mead could be dry by 2021

Reporting from *Dry* Arizona....
We have more water now than in the last 5 years. Damn the global warming!!
Salt River Project-Large amount of water for the eastern side of Phoenix.

Mead and Powell are aproaching 50% full, so you might want to hold off on the doom and gloom for another 5 or so.
It rained hear and up north again today...
Speaking of living where there isn't enough water to drink...
How's that drought coming along in northern Florida. Everyone still squabbling over the water from Lake Lanier in 3 STATES? Who gets the water THIS week?

That whole issue calmed down a while ago. Seems like the Army Corps of Engineers thinks the issue there has been blown a bit out of proportion:

I ran into some guys when I was in Durhamtown back in November who lived near Lake Lanier. They said it certainly was lower than ever, and some areas had dried up, but those were already at-risk low lying areas.

EXACTLY! If you look at the 24 month projection for Lake Mead, which came out just days prior to this bs press release, you will see it was recently updated from 1087' to 1106' for mid year 09, and that is all due to the recent snowpack. The world is a changing place, it always has been! People see a snap shot of earth today and they think its always been and always going to be like that.
What can I say about global warming? Global warming is a money ploy, its gonna be one of the greatest treasure troves ever, with corporations and governments making trillions of dollars from thin air (so to speak)

You pretty much summed it all up in that post. Global warming conspirators would have you think that due to our mistreatment of the earth, a major climactic change is happening overnight...right before our eyes...and that lakes will be drying up in 4 years, ice caps will melt in 10, and the ozone will disappear in 20.
This "scare" tactic is not only another lie told by our government to force the citizens and corporations into some kind of compliance, but makes people think that if we have a drought that it is due to global warming and we should feel guilty because we contributed to it! HAH!
I agree wholeheartedly we need to care for our environment and seek alternative fuels, stop polluting the air, etc. But all this stuff has very little effect on our climate and our well-being on this planet. Cyclical changes in weather and heating and cooling have been occurring for MILLIONS of years here. Nothing we do as humans (short of setting off multiple atomic bombs) can affect our climate on this planet anywhere CLOSE to what nature can do ....volcanic eruptions for instance.
Don't live scared. Be educated, be aware, and take steps to see that you do your part, but don't buy into the global warming nonsense and live in a commune with other hippies.
No, lakes will not dry up due to global warming. They will dry up due to common climate changes in certain regions, or due to new policies affecting water sharing between states and counties. Reservoirs are particularly susceptible to these political issues. If global warming is really true, and it is happening now, it will be another billion years before the earth is affected enough to where it will be a major change from the landscape/climate of today. And then there is a little thing called-adaptation and evolution. Things (humans included) will adapt and evolve along with their natural environment- as we and other things have for a billion years.
But a drastic change overnight or within 20 years? Not even close.

might take hundreds of more years to be seen so that's why people dont give a fu k k now and say it's propaganda

I agree with you, but all the hooplah with "global warming" IS propaganda. Propaganda is stuff that has been twisted to benefit the person distributing it, and bends the real truth. More people would be willing to do something positive for the environment without the propaganda...instead, they get ticked at all the "tree huggers", and then think that they shouldn't worry about it. It's good that the topic is being brought to the forefront, but it can be done in a better way with less "scare tactics".

Please go outside, face west, and do a rain/snow dance. We need all the help we can get 
The casinos and golf courses can use water up the ying yang but I cant even wash my truck in my own driveway with water that I am paying 10 times as much for as what the casinos do......

I'm glad the lake I live on is the drinking resevoir for Houston and the very last lake on the river. It's great because they always keep it full expect when big storms are coming (and nothing beats taking a wiz in everybodies tap water). Also, we don't have to worry about any down-stream lakes or such that depend on our water causing it to continually drop.
Up in Austin, Lake Travis can be down 30 feet, but they still have to release water to the lakes and resevoirs downstream. Year before last, I think it got down around 40 feet low. I don't believe there was a single public boat ramp open.
A week ago Saturday, they dropped our lake level a foot and a half (for what reason I don't know) and then it was back to normal three days later.
I'm not on the prettiest lake by any stretch of the imagination, but it's always wet.

I don't think Lake Erie is drying up anytime soon even with all the water going over Niagara Falls. If it drops a foot it is a Huge deal.

I was taught that the height of the last ice age was 10000yrs ago and we are still in the tailend of it. So, wouldn't that mean the world would be warming even if pollution and people weren't invented? In other words, the average temp of the planet over the last 100 000000yrs or so is a fair bit warmer than current conditions.
I'm not saying GW dosen't exist, but people have to realise that the green faction have agendas and spin doctors same as the major polluters.
