This will reduce evaporation because of a smaller surface area. Water Vapor is the largest green house gas. It will be interesting to see how deep a channel is cut into 100 years of silt.

Early on in the administrative process, I attended the several hearings with a open mind. Fact of the matter is that I was biased in favor of Fletcher at the bonset UNTIL I heard the facts.
There is no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision.
The issue is actually much bigger than just the Halifax dam removal.

Islander, I am in agreement with your knowledge as expressed in your intellectual commentary. Ken Fletcher had a personal interest in this issue, just as you and I might have had if we had lived on the impoundment. I might have had more respect for Mr. Fletcher had he as least admitted it.
