Climate change is making Lake Tahoe warmer, adding stress to the ecosystem

1. Don't need a study myself, lived here for 25 years...

It's NOT the same. Used to be it was a very rare thing to see a 90-degree day in summer, much less many of them...now it's happening more regularly. (Same for below 0 in winter, then we get a week of 'em)

Also more algae at beaches that used to be clear, more trees dying rapidly and randomly...we have a few in our neighborhood that just croaked this year seemingly overnight.

Wildlife seems to ebb & flow in annual waves...some years more bunnies etc, some years more coyotes. But this year even the Mountain Lions have come down to look for water and possibly food.

Yeah, it's hard when you see the shift in the ecosystem around you...

I wish these "studies" would lead to actual legislation and efforts to cut the carbon. But we all know that's a long shot.
