I live in the American West. Lake Mead is at its lowest level in history and will soon become a "dead pool", meaning that water won't be able to flow from it to the areas it supplies.

Things are dire, but it's easier for many to just act like nothing's happening. :(

@SW-User Maybe have a chat to
The oil industry executives who recently blocked Biden’s climate change proposal.

@SW-User As brutal as it sounds, it appears that you can count on Americans to do the least they can do. Their nation is falling apart at an environmental level, so they turn on each other at a social and political level. Storms fires droughts and pollution.
So I guess the rest of us will move on without them..😷

Unfortunately no one us bothered to read the writing on the wall"'extinction of humans is near"""

@romell It wont work that way. It will be business as usual, with the poorest and the weakest paying the highest price first. And those with the lowest birth rate next. I suspect the global population will never drop much below 4 billion. By then a new balance will be achieved.😷

I believe we're on the path to unavoidable climate catastrophe. We could perhaps slightly slow the rate at which it's happening but we won't take the drastic steps that would be required to do even that. In any case I think our biggest possible efforts would be too late to avoid the disaster which has already begun.

Obviously we're best off addressing this.

@Roundandroundwego I agree we should stave off disaster as long as we can, by whatever drastic measures are necessary; but that isn't happening and I don't think it will.

@GrinNude it's maddening to see the traffic, the reliance on cars alongside the desertification we cause by driving.
