In our topics discussion, ‘The Seventh Seal and Global Warming’, we argued that it will be global warming that drives the manifestation of the third trumpet, where one third of the world’s fresh water turns ‘bitter’. We can see anecdotal signs already of the beginning of this process.
Lake Tahoe’s waters have warmed to temperatures never witnessed before, due to global warming. Due to this, algae blooms are becoming more frequent. As global warming accelerates, so will the warming of the lake’s water. Eventually, toxic algae blooms will become a problem for those who depend on the lake for drinking water.
