Info Lake Oroville on the morning of Memorial Day 2021. In May 2021, water levels of Lake Oroville dropped to 38% of capacity. The boats are dwarfed by the exposed banks while California is headed into another drought year. – I was actually surprised to see how few photos about the effects of climate change on the American West we have on Wikimedia Commons. No matter whether this nomination is successful or not, let's talk about how to change that. (c/u/n) by --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure this is the right place for such a discussion, especially since FPC isn't exactly cutting edge when it comes to current events, climate or other. You might have better luck suggesting "climate change" as a theme for the Photo challenge, unless they haven't done that already. Or try to start some drive about it. Most of the time, climate change isn't exactly photogenic. Even going through this subject on Flickr, you just get a lot of photos of people at conferences or marches. --Cart (talk) 14:17, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

- Support Interesting contrast to the same day on the opposite coast, when we were in a third day of heavy rain and ... well, it was cold enough all weekend that we got the space heaters back out ... latest in the first half of the year that we've ever used them, and we weren't alone.
Who are those people on the personal watercraft? Rangers? People who just had to visit their boats that weekend? Daniel Case (talk) 15:31, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- These are all houseboats rather than normal boats used to getting around the waterways in, so I would assume people use them to live in. It's like a floating mobile home park. Lots of folks, even up here in cold Sweden, live on boats all year round. [1] [2] [3] --Cart (talk) 15:46, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
