Probably a good time to push a technology that uses all of our water

It will supposedly take all of our jobs so its total worth sacrificing all water for it.

Here’s the projection going up to 2095:

Black=desert. That’s the 100-year projection, a massive desert.

Yup, it’s real. Have a place - some distance from where I live (in the northeast US) that I go to and get spring water.

Went last autumn and lo, the spring was dry. First time EVER that I’ve seen that, and it’s a place that I’ve known of, and gone to, to get water for well over 40 years.

Fuuuuuck.

Shit’s starting to bite now and hopefullty the El Nino pattern this year will sort some of it and send us rain. We need it.

its odd to be on the other side of the fence, because its the one year where it rained in California soo much, the typical california drought warnings didnt appear.
