Yesterday Tomorrow Seager et al, 2007.
Estimated effects of climate change on Colorado River streamflow (Lees Ferry): Small decrease (0 -8 percent by mid-century) Christensen and Lettenmaier, 2007 Large decrease (up to 40 percent) Hoerling and Eischeid 2007 Moderate decrease (in between) Seager et al 2007 A. None of these show streamflow going up! B. Any decrease is a source of concern ! C. We have to resolve these differences !
? Is the current Southwest drought a once-or-twice-a-century drought like those of the past 500 years … ? … or … ? a harbinger of things to come, a different type of drought that we have not observed before ? ?
