Lake Tahoe warming rapidly, satellites find
The world’s largest lakes, including Lake Tahoe, have been warming rapidly for 25 years as the global climate changes, NASA scientists report.
And throughout the Northern Hemisphere, surface water temperatures of many lakes have been rising even faster than the warming air above them, according to observations by ultra-sensitive satellites.
Not that global warming is real or anything…
“This is just one of several lines of evidence that global warming is really taking place,” Hook said. “The evidence is striking and worldwide.”
Well, maybe it’s real…
For their report, Schneider and Hook selected 176 of the world’s 364 largest lakes and gathered measurements only at night and only from selected lake areas, far from surrounding land.
The results, they said, proved consistent with the most recent estimates of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.N.-sponsored scientific organization that has reported on global warming regularly since 1990.
Alright already! Don’t confuse me with the facts.
