Why is it that some people have to resort to lies and distortion to support a cause? Is it because they have not done their research, they are just plain lazy?
Or do they hope that with sensational headlines they will further expand what ever cause they are passionate about? I believe we should do everything we can to prevent harm to the environment. Yet, when I recently read a post on The Huffington Post by Bob Burnett, I had to call it as I see it.
Bob Burnett in his post made the claim to support his cause in a post titled "IT’s The Water Stupid" Posted August 14, 2008 here is the excerpt. I’ve placed his lie in bold and underlined.
As the name suggests, the Colorado River is fed by Colorado mountain snow melt, which has dramatically decreased in the past few years. The 1400-mile-long river is the primary water supply for seven states. By 2012, due to increased demand and diminished supply, the Colorado River will no longer be able to meet it’s contractual commitments. Meanwhile, there are signs of impending disaster all along the watercourse: Lake Powell has already gone dry and experts predict that Lake Mead will be disappear by 2021.
Now I thought this is strange, as my wife and I where there on June 18th of 2008. Of course, we take pictures as we travel the southwest.
Why is it that we cannot get the truth about global warming or anything else for that matter? For this oversight or attempt, to distort the truth Bob Burnett from the Huffingtion Post gets my vote for moron of the month!
Pictures of Lake Powell taken June 18th, 2008 Wow in less then two months it’s gone dry?
