More likely, it has to do with human behavior in the tahoe area: burning wood during the winter and driving SUVs around the lake. Lake Tahoe's level is predicted to drop. That has to do with climate change and water usage. The climate change aspect of that is that the area is predicted to be warmer, reducing the snowpack and thus the input into the Tahoe basin. Also, there will be more evaporation off the lake. Perhaps in a hundred years current lakefront property won't be so lakefront anymore. It will be an interesting zoning board battle when that comes to pass... :-p The emissions have nothing to do with altitude.

When I looked at your map, I saw that emissions were just as high at 7000 feet as they are at sea level. We'd better do something fast. I am glad we got to see this beautiful alpine lake as it is today. I worry about the future. Travelling all around Lake Taho this past week, it was hard to imagine the impact of CO2 emissions.
