'I’ve written this before and I’ll write it again here. The world we used to know is gone. That’s not hyperbole.' - Jason Godfrey

A photo taken in June 2021 of a former wetland near Tulelake, California showing the effects of a multiyear drought caused by climate change. Every year for the past 20 years has produced damning studies of our global systems and how they’re leading us to environmental disaster. This is an existential crisis. And yet we do nothing. Still. — AP

Accordingly, the US state is looking at ways to increase water catchment, including possibly building more dams so more rainwater can be collected.Remember, climate change is increasing as we continue to use fossil fuels at an increasing clip. There has been lots of talk of renewable and sustainable resources for power like wind and solar but as of today that usage globally provides only a tiny part of our electricity.

Also remember that 1.5°C doesn’t seem like much because we think of it in local terms. Is it really that different if the temperature is 28°C or 29.5°C? Not really. But what is really happening when scientists talk about a 1.5°C global temperature increase, is that the entire world’s temperature will change. Which means some regions increase in temperature a lot more than others.
