For the last 15 years, there has been a rather steady drumbeat of articles and scientific papers relating the falling level of water in the Sea of Galilee with global warming. Higher temperatures mean more evaporation -- or so the argument goes -- which will result in the sea (actually a lake) drying up.
Today, I happened upon an article in the Israeli media announcing that the water levels in the Sea of Galilee are at their highest levels in 25 years. It was a rainy winter, so all that supposed global warming loss of water has been replaced with islands submerging and coastline installations also going under the water.
I didn't see any attempt to tie the high water levels to global warming, but that can't be too far into the future. You see, when it comes to anything pertaining to weather, it is always the fault of global warming. Remember how the US had no large hurricanes for a record 12 years? That was due to global warming. Then we had three big ones in one year. That was due to global warming. Since then, the numbers have tailed off again. You guessed it; global warming at work.
