>The Dead Sea was subject to drastic climate changes in the past. “It was once much lower than today,” Lazar said. Yet over the centuries, natural processes prevented the sea from drying up. “At some point, an equilibrium will be reached between natural evaporation and what little water enters the lake through groundwater springs, rain, and runoff,” he adds. “So I don’t know what people mean when they talk about saving the Dead Sea.” I'm amused by the conservationist here adopting the arguments usually used by global warming skeptics. If you just replace the XX liters/hour of the Jordan River flow that they want restored with XX liters/hour of Red Sea water, it's hard to see how things are not made better.
