Scientists have warned about geoengineering, if you start something like that without a way of fixing the original problem co2. You can't stop doing it or the planet will go into climate change overdrive. They call it aerosol termination shock.

Water experts say only 30% of the seasonal snow pack now makes into the Colorado river basin now because of climate change. The longer growing season and higher temps along with drier soils take the rest. Problem is climate change has meant less rain and snow for the south west.

Eating animals with one stomach is helpful.
Yeah but ribeyes from the four-stomach sort are a pleasure I’m not ready to give up.

(edit) the one-stomach animals I like tend to be bluewater apex predators. Me and a billion Asians. Bluewater apex predators are getting overfished bigly.

New Mexico battles epic wildfire

TAOS, N.M. (Reuters) - A drought-driven wildfire in northern New Mexico exploded into a "megafire" of 100,000 acres, or 157 square miles, on Saturday and could still more than double in size, a fire official said.

Fueled by ferocious spring winds in parched mountain forests, the Calf Canyon fire is by far the largest and most destructive currently burning in the United States.

Around 30 miles (48 km) east of Santa Fe, the fire has destroyed hundreds of properties, triggered thousands of evacuations and on Saturday burned within a few miles of the city of Las Vegas, New Mexico, population 14,000.

"It's already 100,000 acres. It could easily double in size, maybe even bigger than that," Incident Commander Carl Schwope, told a briefing.
The blaze grew about 50% in 24 hours as a giant column of flame collapsed on Friday night, raining embers and starting new fires. Residents of Las Vegas awoke to pieces of charred wood the size of a U.S. quarter coins carpeting the city.
Officials feared another "column collapse" at any time.
"It's a big fire and it's all around us," San Miguel County Manager Joy Ansley said by phone, adding that authorities were making plans in case Las Vegas was told to evacuate.

Firefighters believe the U.S. West faces a grim fire year, with U.S. Department of Agriculture data showing 80% of the area in severe drought.
Under the scenario of a two-degrees-Celsius rise in global temperatures, scientists expect U.S. West wildfires to burn twice the area they do now by as early as mid-century.

Over a third of the 2,800 firefighters now deployed in the United States were on the Calf Canyon fire, bulldozing firebreaks to defend Las Vegas and fighting ember-sparked "spot fires" creeping towards villages in the Mora Valley.

So far this year U.S. wildfires have burned more than twice the area than in the same period of 2021 and about 70% more than the 10-year average, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.

Ha Ha Ha!!!

The majority of respondents to my poll shows they believe Humankind will survive the cataclysm that will be our future & is actually occurring now.

Sorry to say, whether or not we stop all emissions of carbon right fucking now (Which is fucking impossible ) it's too fucking late.
It took 500 years of burning & it took off during the Industrial Age, plus add in all the cars/trucks that are polluting the atmosphere as I type.

And all this has to stop by 2050 or we are past the levels of survival as a species.

So, in 28 years unless we achieve zero carbon emissions, we'll be on the Expressway to Extinction, with no McDonalds in sight.

In other words, we're fucking dead

Told ya 50 fucking years ago this would happen, all the data pointed to it & the numbers don't/didn't lie.

Fucking idiots


Tune time :)

Really, Cali's farms suck us billions of gallons a year & that must be curtailed or we'll run out of water, undisputable fact.
My proposal is to create a massive de-salination project
The technology exists but is consider too costly
Oh yea?
What will it cost if cities runout of water & the farmland becomes a fucking desert.
Assholes
