The droughts happen in multi year intervals, and the reservoir system hasnt been expanded since the 60s. The primary issue is fuel buildup and invasive species. Global warming is just icing on the cake.
Or, ahem, gasoline on the fire.
This isn’t meant to dissuade anyone from voting on Nov 3. On the contrary, I firmly believe that the future of our civilization rests on the outcome.
We need a clear headed, science-heeding majority of legislators in congress come January, plus a president willing to sign their legislation into law.
We are out of time. Shit cake or chocolate, this is it.
It's not just this election we need concern our selves with, but all those after it too.
One party denies climate change, the other acknowledges it at least.
One result opens the door, the other closes it.
The election will absolutely decide our fate.
But I agree with you regarding continuing to push after the election. If by some chance we can get the door open, it'll take continued social pressure & outreach to truly make progress.
