    yeah my main problem is while we’re over here still arguing with people about climate change’s existence and the loud solution is to somehow rid ourselves overnight of fossil fuels… Meanwhile that’s all fine and dandy, but even if we stopped using fossil fuels today the damage is there and we’re already seeing critical water shortages in tons of places.

    It’s time to accept that we are going to have to live through this to some degree until science hopefully finds a way to suck the carbon out of the air.

    The hurricanes, the floods, the droughts… all things we need to start working on solving. Droughts being front and center. We need to desalinate. There is just no way around it. We need to get started on that effort yesterday.
