What proof is there that it’s due to “climate change”? None, as usual.

[Magic Fingers]

“...thanks to global climate change, the area experiences its worst drought in 100 years...”

So what caused the one 100 years ago?

[Spok]

Since the canal is fed from the two oceans it links together, how can it dry up? I am puzzled.

[I want the USA back]

They couldn’t wait to blame it on “Climate Change.” Right in the first sentence.

But I need something ‘splained. I thought “Climate Change” caused storms, floods, power outages, wildfires, sealevel rising and ingrown toenail. So how can it cause the oceans to dry up?

Besides, “Climate Change”, if it existed, would be a RESULT, rather than a cause.

First thanks for the topic post. I'm praying this hold-up is because all the ship containers are being searched. And pleading that it could be very dangerous in the future doesn't bother me. My opinion is if it saves one or two children it will be worth all the delays. If countries hadn't stopped farms and local markets to shut down people wouldn't be having to relay so much on other countries feeding them. England is a good example. EU was a big mistake.

Falling sea level= Climate change, Rising sea level= climate change.

Just another excuse to raise prices

They opened new locks on the canal to accommodate super cargo ships. Are the ones “getting stuck” the new super ships with a larger draft, or are the smaller cargo vessels also getting stuck? That could make a difference in their equation.

Time to revive the Nicaragua Canal project.

[Macoozie]

But I thought Climate Change/GlobullWarmhung was supposed to raise the sea levels?

Guess we’ll just have to wait those remaining 7 to 9 years for the Caps to melt.

A man, a plan, a thgourd drought canal: Panama!

[yesthatjallen]

“thanks to global climate change” = Mismanagement

[SakoL61R]

Lived in Panama for the better part of the 90’s working for Uncle and others...
97-98 was super dry due to El Nino.
Nature’s cycle.
Great diving and fishing no matter what the climate was!

[taxcontrol]

I foresee two things to aid the canal, both are expensive solutions.

1) build a rail system for container ships that would offload from one side cross the Panama hills and then load on other ships on the other side.

2) desalination plants that pump fresh water up to Gatun lake.

[blackdog]

Isn’t that China’s problem? They run it.

[EEGator]

Why did it experience a worse drought 100 years ago?

[grobdriver]

This is stupid. It’s not like the Panama Canal is a land-locked lake - it connects two oceans! How the hell can it “dry up”?

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

Just checked the current (30 days) satellite view of the canal and it doesn’t look dry.

Maybe I’m missing something.
