Probably a good time to push a technology that uses all of our water

It will supposedly take all of our jobs so its total worth sacrificing all water for it.

Yup, it's real. Have a place - some distance from where I live (in the northeast US) that I go to and get spring water.

Went last autumn and lo, the spring was dry. First time EVER that I've seen that, and it's a place that I've known of, and gone to, to get water for well over 40 years.

Fuuuuuck.

Shit's starting to bite now and hopefullty the El Nino pattern this year will sort some of it and send us rain. We need it.

Here's the projection going up to 2095:

Black=desert. That's the 100-year projection, a massive desert.

Εxpert’s wrong! They have no climate change in the U.S.!

[-] Krusty@quokk.au 2 points 4 days ago

Similar projections exist for all major continents.

The worst..so far!

its odd to be on the other side of the fence, because its the one year where it rained in California soo much, the typical california drought warnings didnt appear.

Is the world on a hundred year cycle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
