I went back on CNN last night to talk about the recent flash flooding all over the country and the world.

i’m not sure if you’ve ever heard about lake urmia in iran!! but if you know, do you think the main reason it’s drying up is global climate change, like less rainfall and hotter temperatures? or is it more because of human actions, like dam construction, over farming, or overuse of water resources, which are mostly the result of the regime’s incompetence? is there any similar case elsewhere?
