Climate in the 21st Century

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

The smoke from Canada seems to be the new norm. I hate to get all choked up about it, (cough ,cough) and it brings a tears to my eyes.
I feel so bad for Canada because all its trees are getting torched. I read they didn’t have enough money in the budget for clear cutting. I guess this is the cheaper way to do it. I wish they would have asked for help. I’m sure everyone would have chipped in a little if we knew how bad it was going to be.

That's a lot of wood for the us market, why would Sierra Pacific cut it's own profits?
If we help, it keeps the price low.

Wow. That’s appalling! If that’s the case they should be held accountable for this disaster.
Couldn’t they have cut the trees and stock piled them somewhere to sell them later to avoid this situation?

I can't say for a fact, but the Timber Industry has a hand in Washington, and shareholders to think about.

Grandpa, if you had to guess , how much longer until all the trees are gone and there is no more oxygen to breathe?

Lets see, How many bottles of O2 did you buy?
At this rate, 100 yrs, it keeps compounding.

That's 25 yrs before the statement https://aarhusclearinghouse.unece.org/news/nestle-ceo-water-not-a-human-right-should-be-privatized
When was the last time you had a long drink of cold water out of a fountain? or seen one at a gas station?

I think it was maybe 15 years ago that many restaurants started charging for water.

Sure, sell water by the bottle. But just wait until we come to burn your house down and you will be getting carpel tunnel twisting off those caps trying to put out your home.

I have no problem people buying water, the treatment plants and distribution is not free. But I think municipal water should not be sold for a profit.

Here in the SW developers are still slapping new residential tracts together. I would like for there to be a law that says go ahead and develop — on the condition that you develop a source for the needed water neither from the ground, rain, the Colorado (or any other watershed this side of the Divide) nor other existing infrastructure.

In fact, please sell the surplus to the system at the prevailing wholesale rate.

We are in a bad bind for water that is getting worse as climate changes. There already isn’t enough to go around even as golf courses revert to scrub. I would be fascinated to see how developers adapt.

$129.00 ? For a dildo? Does it cure cancer? Fuck that....

It was very hazy here today, in east Tennessee, attributed to the Canadian fires...That's a long fucking way for smoke to make it.

I think that’s the general idea.

I've often wondered if this was a viable idea?

probably not. When the dew point is 8 F, one will not collect diddly.

Also there never is something for nothing. Big upwind dew ranches will leave a moonscape in their lee.

I’ve wondered about freezer coils if I lived off-grid and had 50 spare kilowatts. Enough for one household. We get a summer monsoon here where some days the dew point hits fifty. Nighttime low is rather higher.

I could cake the coils with ice and collect and filter the melt. A subterranean 20000 gallon tank will keep me for a coupla years. My personal water usage is under 25 gal/day. Not stillsuit territory, but ~shrug~

World hits record land, sea temperatures as climate change fuels 2023 extremes

The target of keeping long-term global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) is moving out of reach, climate experts say, with nations failing to set more ambitious goals despite months of record-breaking heat on land and sea.
