Scary, and some people still believe Global Warming is just a political issue, as if that means it's not a real issue. Pity the fool, it is an issue that needs to be dealt with seriously.

So? Global warming has caused the lake to go dry? Has this never happened before.

lake levels down
My part of the world has had a similar shortage of rainfall. One of the big lakes southeast of me (Cumberland) had to be drawn down for repairs to the dam earlier this year, and between that and less water entering it, they are finding all sorts of stuff that had been thought lost...
I've had to stay away from my nearby lake--too depressing to try to kayak with the water level down 18" from the usual.
The climate is changing--that much is certain (to me, at least). Whether humans accelerated the change is less certain. In any case, we are in for some rough times.
Lovin' the breeze 'tween m'knees!

The two major water storage lakes north of Atlanta are around 18 feet below their normal levels. The pictures of the drying lakes they show on the Weather Channel are shots of these lakes, they look about the same as Jerry's pictures. We are on a total outdoor watering ban. This is the worst drought we have experienced in our area in 80 years.

Not good. NC is also suffering from major drought conditions and the prediction for a dryer than normal winter does not bode well.

I'm trying to do my part, at least with the Scotch
