One day many,many,many years from now the Falls will be no more. Saw a TV special on this on Public TV, think it was NOVA. The falls are receeding due to the erosion of the falls by the power of the water.
Quoted Text
Accurate surveys of erosion of the Falls of Niagara began in 1842. From 1842 to 1905, the average rate of erosion of the Horseshoe Falls was 1.16 meters (3.8 feet) per year. From 1906 to 1927, this rate of erosion was reduced to .70 meters (2.3 feet) per year.Mar 30, 2014

According to one source: "The water dropping over Niagara Falls digs great plunge pools at the base, undermining the shale cliff and causing the hard limestone cap to cave in. Niagara has eaten itself seven miles (11 kilometers) upstream since it was formed 10,000 years ago. At this rate, Niagara Falls will disappear into Lake Erie in 22,800 years."The last one of us around when that happens will get to drink the bottle of champagne hidden in secret location. |

About 10 years ago, they used to have water spraying in the air in the winter at Ft Hunter Rd where it meets Curry Rd. The ice pile was 10 to 15 ft high. |

The "American Falls" were shut off in 1969 to repair the falls and help prevent further erosion. Niagara Falls were formed about 12,000 years ago, when glaciers retreated north, allowing water from Lake Erie to flow over the Niagara Escarpment, a ridge that extends in an arc across the northern Great Lakes region, from Wisconsin to New York. Since that time, erosion has slowly pushed the waterfall about 11 km (about 7 mi) upstream, forming the Niagara Gorge. At present the Horseshoe Falls is receding at an average yearly rate of about 1.5 m (about 5 ft), and the American Falls is being cut away at an annual pace of about 15 cm (about 6 in) |

This was obviously due to primitive man. How else can you explain the retreating glaciers? |

Humans must be the cause of global warming, aside from the fact that there have been 5 major ice ages, that we know of. Passing objects from space could never have affected orbits, and the temperature of the sun could never vary. Just build a giant umbrella and attach it to the moon, so that the Earth gets 10-20% less sunlight each month. Make it expandable and retractable to keep the average temperature of the planet constant. |

I was just talking to my wife Saturday night about this, and wondering if they still did it. |
