    In some places, that future is now. The Horn of Africa and many parts of East Africa are in the midst of a devastating drought. A fifth consecutive rainy season has failed and analysts expect the sixth — starting next March — to also be a dud. As fields go fallow and millions of livestock die of thirst, there is a staggering crisis of hunger in countries throughout the region. According to the U.N.’s World Food Program (WFP), some 22 million people in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya are at risk of starvation.

    In Somalia, in particular, aid groups and international observers warn of the imminent onset of famine. The conditions appear worse than in 2011, the last time famine was declared in the war-ravaged country, when some 250,000 people died. Every minute, one Somali child is being admitted for medical treatment for malnutrition, a spokesperson for the U.N.’s children agency said earlier this month. There are harrowing tales of mothers and families trudging through parched terrain in search of medical assistance for ailing babies. Thousands may have already died.

    Close to 8 million people — roughly half the country’s population — have been impacted by drought. Up to 6.7 million people across the country may face food insecurity by the end of the year. The failure of successive crop cycles dovetailed with the inflationary pressures created by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, as well as the ongoing instability within Somalia as the fragile government battles the entrenched insurgency of Islamist extremist group al-Shabab.

    “We don’t know where the end is,” Michael Dunford, WFP’s regional director for East Africa, told me, warning of the need for the international community not only to reckon with the ongoing crisis, but the future cycles of drought and suffering to come as the effects of global warming disproportionately impact regions like the Horn of Africa.

    “It’s not about the climate changing — the climate has changed. And we are not going back even once the rains start,” he said. “This is a crisis that we are well and truly in the middle of and I don’t know where the bottom is.”
    I covered Somalia’s last famine a decade ago. It’s about to happen again.Earth could soon briefly hit threatening climate threshold
    The further tragedy of the situation is that these most imperiled communities played little to no role in creating the conditions stoking global warming now. This is “a population which importantly has not brought this on themselves,” Dunford said. “What’s happening today … in the region is impacting a vulnerable population that has not contributed to greenhouse gases.”


    Here is another place I wasn't aware of having beyond severe consequences. Even if exaggerated it is almost assuredly mostly true.
    More heat causes more evaporation. Hence, more rain. This is pretty simple shit except to climate alarmists.
    "More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ

    Deserts are in areas that have no weather patterns that bring little rain. It's not the first time areas currently in a drought have experienced it. They've probably had thousands of droughts before the modern age.

    Explain to me how more heat does not produce more evaporation. You can't.

    You are a fool if you think I don't believe heat causes evaporation. Not worth responding to going forward but will continue to post new things that have been brought to my attention that show immediate changes to the climate.

    And I also won't be watching any of that pandering partisan youtube bullshit. You guys whine about scientists but then believe these youtube influencers. Which one do you think is more motivated by money? The smart guy who rose to the top or the fucker peddling bullshit to the feebleminded who just want to be reassured.

    You're an uninformed piece of shit climate alarmist running your punk ass mouth. You don't know jack shit about climate change because you drink the lefty kool aid by the gallons everyday. Dumb ass motherfucker. Until you know both sides of the issue you don't know jackshit so STFU, bitch.

    I present studies and/or facts that seem clearly indicative of climate change.

    You post Youtube videos by partisan hacks.

    Then you guys dismiss the scientists because they do it for $$$.

    Electric cars are a boom to mining. Over 500,000 tons of material has to be mined to produce just one car battery. Thats not partisan hack, that's the truth. But you can't handle it so you try your best to ignore it. You are not scientific at all because you don't bring all evidence to the table. You're stuck on being a crybaby buffoon climate alarmist. YOU post shit by partisan hacks. Keep drinking the commie kool aid.

    Clearly a rational centrist person. Oh I agree electric cars go from fracking to mining. We've been over this though. You're kinda stuck on it. Explaining nuances to you is completely wasted. I've never been trying to sell EVs on people. I just brought it up that I bought one. I wonder if you'd still defend everything trump has ever done. Such an ideologue to the very end.

    Anyway, I call bullshit on 500,000 tons. That is like 1 billion pounds I believe. Come'on man. Who is drinking koolaid here

    When it’s really hot a humid the width of my cock swells to a size that defies science. If it’s going to get hotter because of climate change then There’s going to be plenty of sugar walls around casinos blown out like never before.

    I meant to write 500,000 pounds, still a big number. Do you know what open pit mining does to the environment? Since you are a lefty environmentalist I thought you would be against open pit mining. It poisons the environment. But if you want electric cars then open pit mining is going to skyrocket.

    I think electric cars are a good thing, certainly the wave of the future. But it's not going to put much of a dent in the use of fossil fuels. Most of the electricity in this country is produced from fossil fuels.

    If you want political support for the greening of America then the switch to green has to be a much lower cost than what the Green New Deal is projected to cost. People just ain't going to pay through the nose and push themselves back into poverty to stop carbon emissions. So you climate alarmists need to come up with ways to do it that are gradual and cheap.

    There is something you can watch in your lifetime. California has announced the end of sales of gas burning cars in 2035. Shortly after that announcement Cali experienced a heat wave and citizens were asked to cut back on electricity use. Businesses were told to use their generators if they had them. Generators run on Diesel. LOL!

    Keeping a vehicle with moderate use charged at home is the equivalent of having 5 refrigerators running 24 hours a day. If suddenly everyone today was driving electric then the electricity grid in Cali would collapse. They've got a couple of decades to come up with a solution to the coming electricity shortage....but they are Californians. They can fuck up a steel ball with a feather. Good luck to them but they are fucking idiots hammering nails into their own coffins.

    I think I'm more worried about mountain tops being blown off then huge holes in the ground. I'm not really being an alarmist btw. I mean, it'll happen, wtfever. You'll be a dead man of no consequence.

    Oh I know green policies cost too much for most people but the cost will be far far far higher in the future one way or another.

    I don't really know about the specifics but I'm not sure what you're gloating about heat waves in Cali and how running a few diesel generators makes any difference. People would complain about overbuilding because it costs too much. Shrug.

    California could just fast track nuke projects. Another rightwing talk point.

    What? A lefty is calling for nuclear plants? Now you are almost sounding like a righty. You lefties put a stop to the building of nuclear facilities years ago. WTF? Why are you guys so boneheaded? Your fellow lefties will shut your ass down for suggesting nuclear power.

    Just a few generators? You are now sounding like a righty again. LOL!

    I'm not gloating about anything. Just pointing out obvious facts that fly way over your head.

    I'm not sure why you insist on calling me a lefty. Oh yea, because Trump realigned and redesigned the political compasses of people like you. Again, the handful of male friends who know me well seem to think I'm conservative. I don't know. I'd like to see myself as progressive. But anyway.. the point here is that you are doing yourself a disservice in understanding the world when you think that because some people share views with people on "the left" then they must be all-in with left politics. You have seemed to like this us vs them shit so I can see why it works so well with you.

    Here's something you should be aware of. THe left is an umbrella that is basically anything that isn't the status quo. That in no way means that these people share all their views. Make up some random weird view and it is automatically labeled as liberal by default.

    Anyway, I'm not sure liberals are against nuclear plants. As if the rightwing is pro nuclear plants? Why? because they like weird unnatural radiation? This is all news to me but I guess you're somewhat right. The misguided environmental streak in the Democratic party is wrong.

    If however you think my "fellow lefties" will "shut my ass down" for being pro nuclear power then well.. it reinforces that you live in some fantasy world of black and white. Feeble-minds manipulated by rightwing command n control. Nothing new here.

    Anyway, I'm not sure liberals are against nuclear plants. As if the rightwing is pro nuclear plants? Why? because they like weird unnatural radiation? This is all news to me but I guess you're somewhat right. The misguided environmental streak in the Democratic party is wrong.

    If however you think my "fellow lefties" will "shut my ass down" for being pro nuclear power then well.. it reinforces that you live in some fantasy world of black and white. Feeble-minds manipulated by rightwing command n control. Nothing new here.
    I separated from the Democratic Party long before Trump. John Kerry in 2004 did it for me. I was a moderate democrat but the party kept shifting more and more left. Now it's a loony bin. I'm still right where I always was. That's what you don't get. Republicans are where democrats were 30 years ago....and the democrats have moved off into socialism and fascism. Your a useful idiot for them.

    Just a few generators? You are now sounding like a righty again. LOL!

    I'm not gloating about anything. Just pointing out obvious facts that fly way over your head.
    I'm not sure why you insist on calling me a lefty. Oh yea, because Trump realigned and redesigned the political compasses of people like you. Again, the handful of male friends who know me well seem to think I'm conservative. I don't know. I'd like to see myself as progressive. But anyway.. the point here is that you are doing yourself a disservice in understanding the world when you think that because some people share views with people on "the left" then they must be all-in with left politics.

    My point was more that in your eyes being anti-Trump means one is a libtard or whatever the fuck. Like support for Trump is the litmus test. I don't care about your perception of your own politics.

    What we as a country do to respond to climate change is definitely political. The science behind it isn't. It can be influenced by politics but at its core it is not a political thing. It is just a fact. Anyone who thinks belief in such things make that person a libtard or whatever is CLEARLY not a centrist/moderate. Rather they're completely deluded about themselves.

    Mickey calls himself centrist because he gets government benefits of some sort. Betcha he supports that.
    It is official. Redietz will never be on Dan Druff's podcast. "too much integrity"

    I always love the way you young fucking idiots bash those on SS. Like you ain't going to draw it when you get that age. Hell, you'll be tripping over yourself to get to that first SS check. But SS is a mandatory retirement system that everyone pays into during their working life. It's actually a ripoff compared to IRA's. People that draw SS are getting fucked. The money could have been better invested. But to many people are to irresponsible to let them take care of their retirement themselves. SS is for those kind of people

    I'm a centrist because I back all the safety nets like SS, worker's comp, unemployment insurance, tax credits, abortion in the first trimester, low income housing, subsidizing school meals, free public education. This is just a short list.

    Dems played big roles in bringing those benefits to fruition. They are a good thing. But now Dems want to move off into fascism and communism.

    As a kid I remember Kruschev saying they would take America without firing a shot. I didn't know then but I now know what he was talking about. You lefties are moving this country toward communism a little at a time to make it palatable. A degree or two a year. A couple of decades down the road this country will be full blown communist. Acunt, you are contributing to that. You're their useful idiot.

    Did you ever consider that you may be a useful idiot?

    The first sentence inevitably leads to the last sentence.

    I never understood conflating the collection of SS benefits with somehow being a socialist. It's not like one had a choice to opt out of contributing to SS.
    The last time a pres (I think it was around 2000-2004) talked about letting people contribute to their own IRA or similar instrument, it was roundly condemned by the left. Saving people from themselves, I guess.
    Considering the Ponzi scheme that SS now seems to be, I would think most young people starting into the work force would love to have the ability to opt out and invest the money on their own.
    The ratio of covered workers to beneficiaries is now about 2.5 - 1.
