Las Vegas uses less than 1% of the water that comes out of the lake each year. The other 99+% goes to the 7 state area that makes up the Colorado River Compact, largely for irrigation to support the agriculture of a huge southwestern area. So, are you thinking that there shouldn't be any agriculture, or any of the hundred million people who depend on it?

There has been an on and off again discussion concerning the safety of the road into Yellowstone Park's northern entrance for decades. Falling rocks have destroyed many a vehicle's underside along with dirt slides over the century, and now we see the road almost completely washed out in sections. There has been an alternate route in and out the park by using a parallel dirt road that doesn't follow the river so closely. Maybe it's time to pave the dirt road, and turn the paved road back to dirt or just let parts of it float away?

Difficult times for those impacted...sorry for your losses. At the same time, I'm always surprised by those surprised when mother nature does her thing. Spectacular landscapes are/were created by catastrophic events (at least from our perspective) and people don't seem to understand this obvious fact. As to us "destroying the planet" this is a naïve and self centered perspective. While we might be influencing the rate of climate change occurring on this planet, the planet will be just fine. It always has and always will be. In fact, most animals, including humans do much better in warmer climates than colder ones. The worse case scenario is global cooling, not global warming. And again, something that is obvious but missed by most.
