I hope my kids get a full, long life before the water wars begin. I do my part where I can, but I’ll never have the footprint that some big billion dollar corporation can affect. The oligarchy and their absolute zero interest in preventing a climate disaster has fucked us all.
I don’t see that as an issue either except locally if we don’t do anything like rain catch to get it. Its really more farms getting to little then to much then to little. The amount humans need to drink pale in comparison to what we need for the food we consume.
“Researchers recently discovered that the most intense heat wave ever recorded happened last March.
And it was in the coldest region on Earth.
Eastern Antarctica saw a spike of about 70 degrees Fahrenheit above average that month, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters. The region was at 5 degrees Fahrenheit at the peak of the heat wave when it should’ve been near -65.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the study says.”

That’s -20°C at the peak of the heat wave when it should have been -55°C, for my metric brethren.
The scariest part to me about the Antarctica heating - and heat spikes throughout the southern hemisphere - is: it was fucking winter down there. That’s when the sheets are supposed to grow. I think the northern hemisphere saw the prelude, a horrible preview of what we’re going to see all over the southern hemisphere in the next six months, and it’s going to be terrifying. And then it will be our turn again.
Heard on Sydney radio the other day that they’ve already declared El Nino for down here.
Yep, the conditions were met just recently. Forecasts and weather are already showing pretty warm temps.
Really wild that a pandemic and the year where you can no longer ignore climate change cuz it’s literally already happened would basically be right next to each other or at least within a 3 year window.
Completely puts the nail in the coffin of Millennial etc and Boomer relations IMO, where Millrnnials, zoomers etc are well and truly cursed to watch an age crumble into the next out of sheer greed and incompetence. Old enough to remember how things could have been and yet have been mostly powerless to stop it and young enough to see it disappear.
