Sure, we still don’t really know how water flows down a river but we should believe without question that 100 years from now it will be 3 degrees warmer across the entire planet. Yup, makes sense to me. But that’s cuz I’m not a scientist.

But now, instead of reverting to branching channels moving over and through extensive valley wetlands, the stream cuts a sharp path through accumulated sediment.

This is the important sentence in the article.

A sharp path covers much less land, but branching channels are spread out. By arguing that the "natural" state of a river is much broader than the existing channel, much, much more land is brought under control of the "environmental re-mediation".

But that’s different because it’s also religion that accepts a concensus and is lead by the carbon credit diety Algore.
