Has any State agency, department, or commission in Georgia examined the 2007 IPCC report of predicted climate change impacts upon the state of Georgia? Regardless of religious or political affiliations, sound short and long term planning to address climate-change-related issues makes all the sense in the world.

I know that this is an increasingly scary scenario for Georgians, so casting political blame won’t help. However, I would offer that next time Georgia has an opportunity to elect it’s presidential selection, and State representatives to Congress, perhaps some consideration should be given to a person who has a sound and rational approach to hard science, and who lacks inseparable economic ties to industries it actively seeks to protect.

Hm. I don’t know how to take that response - it would be true if discharge levels remained constant but the level was dropping faster.

But what we saw was the discharge level nearly double, along with an associated drop in water levels.
