    That’s not climate change; that’s just a precedented drought

    • Less rainfall

    • Less accumulated upstate snowpack

    • Higher regional temperatures

    • More agricultural states draining off the Mississippi’s reserve in order to maintain a steady growing season

    • Drier ground absorbing more of the remaining river water

    What could any of this have to do with climate change?

      I’m not arguing it doesn’t make sense. I’m just stating the evidence shows the Mississippi isn’t trending lower despite how you explain why it is.
