The level of the Dead Sea is currently dropping by more than a meter every year. But this is not new, according to German and Israeli researchers who maintain that the level of the salty lake also dropped millennia ago. At the end of the last ice age, for example, the water level dropped by 250 meters within a few thousand years...
Dr. Daniela Müller and Prof. Achim Brauer from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam, together with Dr. Yoav Ben Dor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, studied 15,000-year-old sediments from the Dead Sea and the surrounding area using newly developed methods. With unprecedented accuracy, they showed that the long period of drought was interrupted by wet periods lasting 10 to 100 years. This also offers new insights into the settlement history of this region, which enables better assessments of current and future developments driven by climate change, they wrote...
For example, during the transition from the last ice age to the Holocene, the water level of Lake Lisan dropped by about 240 meters in the period from 24,000 to 11,000 years ago, eventually leading to its transition into today’s Dead Sea...
New, high-resolution analytical methods including x-ray fluorescence scanners, were developed for the study at the GFZ to collect precise information from the stratification of the sediments and their geochemical composition...

The country was under water at one point, and these climate alarmists are thinking if we drive EV’s we can stop this from occurring again?
Read this yesterday. A least at the end they do admit it has been a very long term cycle and don’t blame man for it.
“Climate phase periods” = climate change periods, all of which occurred without the addition of man-made C02
It's just possible that they're gravely mistaken, although it's more likely that they don't believe it themselves and are merely lying about it.
Hi.
This not a thread hijack attempt...
Hey, check out the Red sea, I’ll wager you find some of pharaoh’s chariots.

Just looking at the photo made me thirsty.
The Red Sea is what is rolling in in November, and again every two years thereafter.
We all know Carlsbad Caverns got its start thanks to an inland sea. That was before SUVs occurred, of course.
lol, both my front and back yards look like that... Barely got a bush or two.
The Dead Sea is dropping because everyone is tapping fresh water from the Sea of Galilee.
It doesn’t have anything to do with climate change.
Israel needs a long term plan for fresh water or they are in serous trouble in 50 years.
Oh ****, I just hijacked my own thread...
The Age of the Dead Sea...The rivers Zerka (Callirhoe) and Arnon, which flow into the sea from the east, carry salt solutions from many springs. The shores of the Dead Sea abound in highly concentrated thermal springs which contain rich amounts of magnesium... When these factors are taken into consideration the age of the Dead Sea, computed on the basis of its magnesium content, must be drastically reduced... The proportion of sodium to magnesium in the water of the Jordan is about 4:1; in the Dead Sea it is 1:2. If the Jordan were the only source of the sodium for the Dead Sea the age of the Dead Sea would be only about 6,000 years. But the thermal sources on the western, eastern, and southern shores contain sodium too; so may the submarine sources, which cannot be evaluated. It is likely, therefore, that the sea has existed for only about four thousand years. When again the fact is taken into account that the thermal sources are usually more concentrated when they first break out and when they are at a higher temperature, it may well be asked why the age of this sea should not be reduced still more. It is probable that deeper levels of water have a greater salt concentration. Fifty thousand years as the age of the Dead Sea was an unexpectedly low estimate: the rift in which the Dead Sea is situated is considered to be the result of a catastrophe at the beginning of the first glacial period. Now a simple reckoning shows that the saline sea with the Jordan has not existed longer than five thousand years.

As in all comedy, timing is everything. But I didn’t put in the time index, because I make my own fun.

IIUC, Israel is trying desal plants and they're working well. The Med's not going to go empty any time soon.
Well it was those polluting camel caravans and unregulated chariots…c’mon man…
