It was caused by climate change. The commies diverted water based on the climate they had been experiencing, but the drawdowns were too large for the climate they got.

You went to a shitty state school then. It's pretty common knowledge that the shrinking of the Aral sea came from dams and diversions. Anyone who tells you otherwise is the liberal equivalent of people who post watermelon and fried chicken jokes.

The disappearance of the lake was no surprise to the Soviets; they expected it to happen long before. As early as 1964, Aleksandr Asarin at the Hydroproject Institute pointed out that the lake was doomed, explaining, "It was part of the five-year plans, approved by the council of ministers and the Politburo. Nobody on a lower level would dare to say a word contradicting those plans, even if it was the fate of the Aral Sea."[18]

"Climate change" is cucked terminology because the system uses it to bitch at you, but they don't have to explain whether it's heating up or cooling down, it's just "change". Just a few short years ago it was "global warming". That term fell out of favor, because we had some really fucking cold winters, and people started begging for global warming. "Climate change" allows the jewsmedia to forever bitch to you, but for absolutely nothing.
>>
>>139817946
They need warm water to form, but that's not what anon meant. Warm anomalies aren't the same as warm water. Any storm requires convective instability to gain strength. Global warming warms the whole column including water and the air above. It also reduces the temp gradient between the tropics and mid latitudes which ends up reducing extreme weather.

There is a global consensus concerning rising global temperatures. To suggest rising atmospheric temperatures will not result in higher oceanic temperatures is frankly quite idiotic. Consider suicide.

Funny how no one knows about Owen's lake. The US eliminated a lake before the Russians ever did:
Owens Lake is a mostly dry lake in the Owens Valley on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada in Inyo County, California. It is about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Lone Pine, California. Unlike most dry lakes in the Basin and Range Province that have been dry for thousands of years, Owens held significant water until 1913, when much of the Owens River was diverted into the Los Angeles Aqueduct, causing Owens Lake to desiccate by 1926.[2] Today, some of the flow of the river has been restored, and the lake now contains some water. Nevertheless, as of 2013, it is the largest single source of dust pollution in the United States.[3]

>global consensus
Climate science is 90% retards trying to scrounge up grant money for third rate projects. They are also what people refer to when they say "consensus". There are maybe 3-5 people that really lead the field and deal with the cutting edge base physics. There is no where near the consensus you think exists. It's commonly known that GHG's are a positive temp forcing, but no one can say for sure how much of our warming is attributable to them or if we will continue to warm in the future. Most estimates of climate sensitivity are overblown due to faulty feedback assumptions.
>>
>>139819638
Hah. Way to out yourself, oil shill. The ONLY scientific literature casting any shadow of a doubt over the question of man's involvement in climate change are bankrolled by Exxon, BP and the like. You have been duped into thinking no consensus exists when in fact there are two sides: those who warn of our inevitable doom versus those who wish to remain the highest grossing corporations in global history.

Follow the money, and everything will make sense.

Prove it.

No, people are referring to the overwhelming weight of publications and evidence.

There are plenty of studies which say exactly that.

The water comes from rivers that drain to Aral Sea.
