Random discussion of climate change not specifically related to food

We were warned. It’s too late now. No, there’s no climate change/global warming.

Oh yeah. I moved to SF in '76 and it didn’t rain for 18 months. In the late 80s in SF we had water rationing. IIRC we got 50 gpp/day. It’s too late people.

Sorry to be such a downer. This situation just keeps getting worse and worse and worse. So people want “olive oil, risotta rice and passata supplies” but “NEED” their friggin’ lawns. Sorry, I won’t do this again.

I think you’re being realistic, Cath, and respect that.

I’m somewhere between “We’re royally fucked/Humanity is a blight” and … . Not optimistic, not hopeful.

Wondering when we’ll see mass migration within the country due to climate crisis.

Wondering when we’ll bail out of SoCal, too.

Thanks, ED. I moved to SF while still in my 20s so have been dealing with drought for 50 years! I’m out of patience. We just moved last year from Reno/Tahoe to Seattle. When in Reno we removed all our lawn and planted sedums, trees, and shrubs and reduced our water bill by 50%. Our new house has lawn in front where we already have the plan to get rid of it.

Honestly, if humanity wipes itself out, we totally have deserved it.

Back to the topic.

Yep. And from what I read the US is one of the very worst.
