        I’m pretty sure you’re correct in terms of their relative priority, but I think we should do it anyway.

    Did you turn your thermostat off and sit in the dark? Otherwise you’re the real problem. Not us.

      Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That’s why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years… It’s just going to be hotter and drier…

      Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that’s drowning crops. They got an entire year’s rainfall in 1 month.

        I’m in California. Normal el niños give us moderate flooding. I’m tempted to stock up on sand and sandbags this summer, before the rush

          Probably a good idea… The irony is the Colorado River is so low a lot of southern Cali and Nevada might run out of water.

            Funnily enough, Arizona has been taking this way more seriously than California. Probably because California has multiple water sources.

        The rain isn’t over yet either, more rain forecasted but not as severe. Except now everything is saturated so it’ll probably re-flood everything that is slowly receding.

              i’m not sure if people use wooden shingles anymore out here unless you’re building a shed (and we just did tar paper on ours). nearly everyone in my town has ceramic roofs. rooves. whatever.

      I know you’re joking, but my uncle had a goal of visiting every continent. He hit Antarctica by signing onto a research vessel or something. A few hours of work a day, then whenever they stopped he got to go diving.

    It’s not just the short term profits, it’s the power. It’s much harder to control places that don’t rely on fossil fuels
