Climate Change

i might counter that attaching to minutiae rather than engage the scope of drought is the comfortable thought-waving with which we oft reply to climate crisis news and studies

Honestly the real conversation is why are we allowing land use in deserts that siphon fresh water from other watersheds without sustaining their own water supply. Either get used to a forever-conservation lifestyle or move.

hey i'm all for returning the Colorado to the Pacific but yeh it'd take a whole new way of life and development in these regions

instead we like making sure we've squandered it all before it gets to Mexico but at least we have golf courses in Scottsdale

I've lived in L.A. for 32 years, I have no idea what winter is like.
Maybe I'd like it, idk.

Just drive up the 2 Freeway into the Angeles National Forest in January, there's plenty of snow in LA County!

Well, I mean it didn't do anything yet. Let's meet some goals first.

?

The Montreal Protocol deeply slashed CFC emissions, restoring the ozone layer.

The Biden administration announced a blueprint Wednesday outlining how solar energy could produce nearly half of the nation’s electricity by mid-century, part of its ambitious bid to address climate change.


The new Energy Department analysis shows how the United States can scale up production of solar panels, which now provide 3 percent of the nation’s electricity, to 45 percent over the next three decades. It would entail the United States doubling its installed solar power every year for the next four years, compared with 2020, and then doubling it again by 2030.


The move, which would transform the nation’s energy industry and infrastructure, shows how President Biden is determined to reshape the economy and cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in the face of staunch political opposition.


While the administration has not set a specific solar energy target, the president has called for 100 percent of the nation’s electricity to come from clean energy by 2035.
