In 2019, there had been 3 solid rainy seasons in CA. But that was after maybe almost 10 years of drought since 2006. In 2019, lots of pundits started declaring an end to the drought. But past 2 years looks like the drought is back with a vengeance. I love the desert weather. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. We're not out of water... yet... I sometimes feel sorry for these guys. They just don't understanding how interesting the Earth is. I've known for a while that we need to improve desalination. Economies can adapt. From a scientific perspective, as water tables drop in the West, outgoing solar radiation has a longer wave length. This keep it in the atmosphere longer. And this in turn increases the "greenhouse effect". But these guys don't know enough about science to understand that. p.s., when I lived in Mesa (a suburb of Phoenix) I used to go for rides on my 10 speed bike out into the desert all the time. I really did enjoy it. It was actually quite relaxing. Yeah, democrat science, is simply consensus. With the proper marketing an politics, pretty much any stupid thing, can be accepted science. Actual science isn't what's popular, trendy, or requires faith. Quite accurate. Democrats are all about describing 'consensus' (even where there isn't any!) and using supporting evidence as a 'proof'. This is not science. This is religion. Only religions do this. Only fundamentalists try to prove a religion is True. Science is just a set of falsifiable theories. There are no people, no voting blocs, no use of supporting evidence. It is just the theories themselves. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

The cause is not climate change (whatever THAT is!). It's simply that the SOTC doesn't collect the water it gets. Do you propose a new method for California to collect more water? There are a couple of things that could be tried to improve desalination. One is based in chemistry while the other is a better solar panel. If heat can be efficiently removed from steam, then that heat could be used to heat salty water. Basically it would be flashing salt water into steam. And because heat will flow from hot to cold, a radiator could be used to transfer some heat. Of course, if a green energy source allowed for water to be converted into oxygen and hydrogen, then when it gives off heat to become water again, it could generate some energy. Of course with making hydrogen and oxygen, the salt wouldn't become a gas and this requires adding 2 electrons per water molecule for water to become hydrogen and oxygen elements. What makes things economically feasible is not needing new energy to be developed. So would need to consider how much energy is lost in any process. Edited on 22-07-2021 20:41

The same kind of parlor trick is used to convince people that glaciers are melting. Both pictures were in June, 2019 and 2021. So?? A picture of the creek by my house in June 2021 would show drought conditions (the creek was, and still is today, nothing more than a piss trickle, as Southern Wisconsin has received virtually no rain all Summer, to date --apparently it all went to China--), but a picture of the very same location of the very same creek in June 2008 would show absolute flood conditions (meaning that the creek breached its banks and water was even flowing over the road at a decent speed)... That SUCKED trying to get home from work that day. I specifically remember that early June in 2008 because my dad and I had to go out with the tractor and 4-wheeler to clear out a bunch of large logs and other debris from the road so that people could actually get through there again. The township wouldn't've responded near fast enough, so we had to do it ourselves. Edited on 23-07-2021 17:46

It's a brown dwarf and not a neutron star. Irrelevant. James___ wrote: Chances are that atmospheric gasses influence its color. Yes. Due to blue scattering in the atmosphere (causing the blue sky), the Sun itself appears slightly yellow when viewed from the surface, except of course during sunset and sunrise, when viewed through more of the atmosphere, making the Sun appear redder. James___ wrote: And with snow being white, if it was pure then it would not be white, it would be crystal clear. Nope. It would be white. James___ wrote: SO its impurities most likely changes the color it refracts/reflects. Snow absorbs infrared light and reflects most other frequencies. James___ wrote: This link will help to explain why stars look like they emit white light. https://frostydrew.org/publications.dc/show/entry-589/ The Sun emits white light. It emits frequencies from radio all the way up to X rays, including all visible frequencies of light.

This is why we refer to the speed of light "in a vacuum" because other mediums have differing light speeds. Wavelength in a medium other than a vacuum DOES change. The frequency does not. Assuming a single frequency of light with a given wavelength in a vacuum, as that light slows down in a medium the wavelength becomes shorter. The frequency does not change. Remember the wavelength is typically calculated for light in a vacuum, not in any medium. Indeed, a radio antenna cut for the wavelength of the speed of light in a vacuum will set up a standing wave on that antenna feedline. The antenna must be shortened slightly to account for the speed of light in the wire, which is a tad slower than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Geez, that's what I said. And yet you guys said I was wrong. p.s., when light slows moving through a prism, it gains mass. This increases its amplitude. This is why the wavelengths change. If the mass of the light wave remained the same then when leaving the prism it would return to a wavelength relative to the amount of energy in that wave. λ=wavelength = wavelength * 10^-10m where m is kg is how you calculate the the mass of of a wavelength. Since red light has a wavelength of about 700a and blue light is about 500a, blue light has about 1.4 times more mass. Edited on 24-07-2021 06:02

Once again, reflection occurs off a surface while refraction occurs through a medium. If light slows because it is reflected off of a mirror, it is refracted. The mirror is a prism. And any surface that reflects light is absorbing some of it. Why that surface will become warmer. What happens when light is refracted.
