Glad its garnering mainstream attention but it still isn't covered with the level of severity it deserves.

The effects of climate change are definitely picking up pace.

Looks like they're going to have to stop making those almonds.

Clouds getting seeded. We'll be fine

They just need as much time for it to look as dire as can be then come in like a white knight “saving the west coast”

how about bowl shaped roofs. Collects rainwater and stores in tanks built into the walls for cooling and insulation. provides shade and airflow between itself and the roof for cooling also...

shyt like this is why I don’t plan on leaving the Midwest anytime soon.

 

[pawdalaw]

What’s the inevitable and what’s going on???

Economic, agricultural, environmental collapse for that region. It will become a desert and Americans will lose trillions worth of infrastructure due to that region being uninhabitable. One can only guess how widespread the impact will be.

Bodies are turning up in Lake Mead due to the drought and it's believed they were dumped there by the Chicago mafia.

In its early years, the casino town was so tightly controlled by the Chicago Mafia — the so-called Outfit — and other clans in the Midwest that it was said every other person there claimed to be connected to the Mob. And with so much money to be made by the unscrupulous — not to mention so much potential for them to rip each other off — there were inevitably a lot of casualties.

Although Lake Mead had obvious attractions as a place to dispose of those fatalities, local Mafia experts have long argued that mobsters preferred to bury bodies in the Nevada desert, as they feared that floating corpses in the reservoir would alarm tourists and discourage them from visiting Vegas.

On July 25, back at Swim Beach, a third set of remains were discovered, encased in mud at the waterline. A fourth set were found on Swim Beach two weeks ago.

Experts say it is too early to work out an identity and cause of death of the latter finds, but staff at Las Vegas's 'Mob Museum' have a shrewd idea who ended up in the barrel. They believe it is most like to be Johnny Pappas, who worked in the casino industry but had 'connections' to the Mafia. He worked for the Argent Corporation, a front company for mobsters who owned four big Las Vegas casinos from which they 'skimmed' the profits (under-reporting takings to the government and pocketing the remainder).

Pappas, a Greek-American, kept a boat on Lake Mead and disappeared one night in 1976, after telling his wife he was going to a restaurant to meet two men who were interested in buying the boat. Three days later, his car was discovered with the keys in the ignition in a casino car park.

The man suspected of killing him was Tony Spilotro, a Chicago 'enforcer' and Mafia captain in Las Vegas. The prolific hitman was considered a suspect in almost 20 mob-related murders and disappearances from 1975 to 1977.

Drought at Lake Mead has exposed bodies feared to be linked to Mafia

The first body was discovered in May. The skeletal remains of a man were found crammed inside a rusting metal barrel on Lake Mead's muddy shore (pictured).
