    I live in the Green Mountains of Vermont. I was just chatting with our librarian, and we both realized that our town is surrounded by forest, and trees line every street. If the current drought continues, we may face the same threat as many California towns.

      I live in the green hills of PacNW. We had a second EVEN COLDER Summer of No Summer (and no tomatoes). It stopped raining in July, a full month too late, after killing the tomato and pepper starts, then started raining again in late September, a full month too early. _The backyard hammock hasn't been out since COV19!_ *Magic CO2!*

      Nothing you can do? I'm sure it's not like people can stop driving cars.

      But the weather extremes of climate change also caused the devastating floods Vermont had this summer.

    We ALL KNOW a Trump return AT BEST HALTS all progress made over the last 4 years and MORE LIKELY based on Trump's OWN PUBLIC STATEMENTS will SET US BACK YEARS OR DECADES in THIS fight.

      500 years ago, after a 1,000 Year Dark Ages *where the Emperor and Pope owned all property and crushed personal freedoms,* the grip of the Church disintegrated into Three Popes, Two Kings and the Reformation. Today, 23 years after a 2001 Papal Encyclical to 'Save the Common Good', al-Gore's Eco-Trerorists monetized and raised up a $ trillion Brussels dark papacy, a Compulsory Carbon TIthe, Mandatory Energy Austerity, State Control of Private Property, and Iron Claw Lockdown of Personal Freedoms, *as the West doom scrolls towards Bethlehem,* ...again.

      Trump is the worst, but you shouldn't blame him for this. If you look at a couple graphs (like US oil production, world energy consumption, the living planet index, atmospheric CO2, etc.), then it's pretty trivial to see nobody ever did anything measurable against climate change. Period. There are no bumps and inclinations on these graphs that could indicate any meaningful and successful actions. (Except maybe from financial crises and COVID.) And considering the fact the green movement exists for 50 years this is pretty remarkable.

    If you heat up a gas, our atmosphere for example, it is able to hold more water vapor. This makes for more evaporation, drought & wildfires. The atmosphere is carrying around more water vapor, so when conditions are right for rain, massive amounts of water can fall from the sky in a very short amount of time. This creates flooding & huge amounts of snowfall.

    Quite a pity, since they are the only ones reforesting in their areas. They account for most of the reforestation in the U.S. - Reforestation and Nuclear Power are the rational ways to reduce global warming.

    Mon idée d'une escapade romantique implique désormais de réserver une chambre d'hôtel avec des rideaux occultants et un grand lit. Ah, le luxe d'un sommeil ininterrompu😻

    Decarbonization is fairy dust, the tipping point was 200 years ago. That ship has sailed.

    Of course the northeast has never had a drought. Or big Forrest fires. Maby also if the liberals there would have allowed the cutting and ckearing of timber like the indians did this would be much less an issues
