The issue with swamp coolers is humidity and also the need to have relatively clean excessive water that you are able to dispose of in the evaporation
membrane. I think the limited water supply is the major issue in Baja.

Last year the float valve went out, so for a few days I had to fill the base pan from a garden hose. It didn't take much, probably less than five
gallons running all day.
I am fortunate to live in an area with the softest water I have ever seen in a municipality. Mineral deposits are not a problem.

We are all different, and some (like me) like the dry-heat of the Desert. I do NOT like humidity, period, and El Centro was pretty humid sometimes,
I admit. My first 30 years of life were spent in Coronado, CA within walking distance of the beach. Most of the year I was cold and clammy, but
most other's love the Temps. in the San Diego area (lots of 50's. 60's, and low 70's). I never got warm in winter in Coronado and reveled in the
"Santa Ana's" that occasionally prevailed for a few days in Coronado. Thankfully, my wife (from Palo Alto) is the same as me. We love the dry
Deserts!!!

"Waste time in the desert" ???
What kind of Nomad are you?
I absolutely love the desert and have since I was a kid... begging my parents to go to Ocotillo and search for fossils and oyster shells in the Yuha
Desert. They had recently got a Jeep and when not going to Baja, some weekends were spent driving the trails near Ocotillo and Plaster City. Great
memories!
Baja Deserts are the best...

It's very sad, because I grew up on CNN and it was my go to news source. They took a wrong turn about 8-10 years ago and now I don't trust them to
tell the entire truth on anything.

It was a BBC article.

A crucial system of ocean currents is heading for a collapse that ‘would affect every person on the
planet’
A new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature, found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current – of which the Gulf Stream is a part –
could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025.
2025! Even you elderly might be around to see this event!
It has happened before. More than 12,000 years ago, rapid glacier melt caused the AMOC to shut down, leading to huge Northern Hemisphere temperature
fluctuations of 10 to 15 degrees Celsius (18 to 27 Fahrenheit) within a decade.

I love all of the new predictions of catastrophe when absolutely -0- prior predictions have come true so far.

You must be asleep. The climate has already changed and sea level has risen, consistent with predictions. Have you noticed that this year summer
heat waves are setting records world-wide?
Wake up!
Woke!

Read the article not the headline.
“ The water temperatures recorded Sunday and Monday would challenge the record for hottest sea surface temperature in the world. While official
world water temperature records aren't kept, a 99.7 degree temperature recorded in Kuwait Bay is considered the world record at this time. Due to
factors like proximity to land and the silty nature of the water, the temperatures recorded off Florida would have to go through an extensive
verification process.”
Goat,
You're about 12K years late coming to the party. Sea level has risen about 120 meters since the end of the ice age. It’s going to rise 10-20 M more
no mater what.

The glaciers in Glacier Park were supposed to be gone by now...still there. Catastrophic hurricanes like Catrina were supposed to be greater in number
& more intense... hasn't happened - there have been hurricanes but no where near the level predicted (as there always has been).
I work on a small atoll with a maximum elevation of 30'. It should be mostly under water based on sea level rise predictions... it's just fine &
the only changes there are cycles of erosion & building because the whole complex is dynamic and forever changing. In fact 1 of the highest
elevations has occurred in the last 2 years from coral rubble being pushed onto a portion of the atoll.
-0- predictions have come true

Well, there are a few scraps of glaciers hanging on,…
But mostly gone!
Woke!

I climbed up & snowboarded down Jackson Glacier in 2007, 2008, & again just a few days ago. Timing was within 10 days of the same date in
each of those years. The best overall coverage was this year.
Blackfoot Glacier was also better this year although I didn't actually climb it but it's entirely visible from Jackson Glacier.

What part of the rate of sea level change and the rate of temperature change being important eludes you? "Since the end of the ice
age" is not relevant to the quick and escalating rate of change, due to man-made climate change, except as a comparison.
