A severe drought is affecting the Panama Canal. That’s not a good sign for supply chains — or your holiday shopping

As if the supply chains were in good shape as it is. I wonder if it will continue to drop, since the ocean levels are allegedly rising. It seems the water from each side would fill in the canal, unless I am missing something.

How far above sea level is the lowest point in the center of the canal?

Google is my friend. The canal is an interesting subject to read about.

Its the level of the lakes between the oceans. You can let the ocean salt water in, and kill the fish and the plants and create a man made disaster with the lakes along with whatever is going on in the oceans.

Its osmosis, the movement of water across a membrane. Its way ocean fish cant survive in salt water, same with plants. Panama still relies on the lakes for fresh water to drink and fish to eat.

Like I said, Google is my friend. I read up on it, but you feel the need to condescend. No wonder people dislike you.

My original response was filled with questions, because I did not know the answer. No condescension there. Legitimate questions. Knowing you would just give a snarky reply, I went to Google to find the answers, and then came back to say I learned interesting stuff about the canal. Then you came in hours later, and said your shitty reply.

Let me add that you post nothing positive in this section of the forum, just doom and gloom. The world is not as bad as you are pretending.

I post news stories or scientific reports with data, to support what is occurring. I wish there was better news. There only one planet, there are no life boats.
