It would be better long term to actually legislate the farmers and commercial water usage instead of let them do whatever the hell they want.

100% it’s amazing to see what’s happening in some places like Arizona. They talk about water shortages and halting construction to manage water levels. Yet they sell most of the water usage in the state, 70% to agriculture. Including alfa alfa sprouts that are grown to be exported to Saudi Arabia.

Super interesting, especially the Dubai drones with phasers set to stun. I thought all the seeding was chemical until I read that.

Thanks for the read.

Unregulated capitalism running things into the ground, more news at 11.

Seriously, has noone in high position read anything about the tragedy of commons?

We'll prod mother nature to produce more water for us. The hubris is mind blowing.

Some people really think we are masters of the universe and have only each other to compete with.
