and thats just the start of it

worse yet to come

And there is your answer. A 15 million increase in population for California, Nevada, and Arizona since 1990. Just over a 40% increase. Las Vegas population has increased 380% since 1990. 

So let's open the border, let a million more a year in, yeah what a great idea!!! See how that works out.

So you want an AUTHORITARIAN government? Sort of Adolf Hitler style. It will bite YOU in the azz sooner or later. Maybe Trump and the Republicans should have barred climate activists???? What would you have called that??? DICTATOR!!!!!! 

You applaud oil pipeline projects being shutdown and you ignore allowing Russia to finish theirs. Our administration slows fossil fuel production and then begs OPEC for more. No complaints there!!!

China going full tilt with coal fired plants!! Oh, they SAY they will jump in 2030. WTF!!!!

Blind Stupidity, no other word for it.

The Colorado River irrigates farms, powers electric grids and provides drinking water to 40 million people. But as its supply dwindles, a crisis looms. By Drew Kann, Renée Rigdon and Daniel Wolfe, CNN Lake Mead — the largest manmade reservoir in the US, which is fed by the Colorado River — recently sunk to its lowest levels since the lake was filled in the 1930s. Its water levels have fallen more than 146 feet since their peak in January of 2000, and the lake is now just 35% full. Lake Powell, the river’s second largest reservoir, sits at 32% of its capacity. As water levels drop, billions of kilowatt hours of hydroelectricity that power homes from Nebraska to Arizona are also at risk.   Las Vegas relies on the river for 90% of its water supply, Tucson for 82% and San Diego for around 66%. Large portions of the water used in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Denver also come from the river, and experts say these booming metropolises would not have been possible without its supply. But a crisis is unfolding, and farmers, scientists, water managers and policy makers across the Southwest are increasingly alarmed.   On Monday, the US Bureau of Reclamation declared the first-ever official shortage, which will trigger the largest mandatory water cuts to date in the Colorado River Basin. And after decades of receiving water from the Colorado River, the spigot could soon be turned off on many farms "This exceptional drought—marked by massive water shortages, destructive wildfires, emergency declarations, and the first ever water delivery shortfall among the states sharing the Colorado River—punctuates a two-decade warm and dry period that has baked the Southwest," the report stated.

 

There's a 1-in-3 chance Lake Powell won't be able to generate hydropower
in 2023 due to drought conditions, new study says

 

this figures to b a real problem , fubah        bad enough they now have to ration water

NASA -

The Effects of Climate Change

Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global
climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level
rise and longer, more intense heat waves.

Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue
to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced
by human activities. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States
and other countries, forecasts a life-altering temperature rise of
2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century!

Some of the long-term effects of global climate change in the United States are as follows,

according to the Third and Fourth National Climate Assessment Reports:


- More Droughts and Heat Waves

- Hurricanes Will Become Stronger and More Intense

- Sea Level Will Rise 1-8 feet by 2100

The people will still exist wherever they are.  They are seeking a better life in a different country just like the people aboard the Mayflower did.  The fact that you would deny brown people the same rights that white people assumed shows your prejudice.

Well it's definitely not a hoax by the Chinese like Trump stated.  That's so wrong it doesn't even qualify as a myth.

This planet, particularly the US, is in serious trouble if we continue to burn fossil fuels, destroy forests, and consume methane producing livestock.  The science is very clear.

Too much of that in this country.   On both sides!

But much more frequent and pervasive on the right.

(CNN) The planet is warming rapidly, resulting in historic drought,
deadly floods and unusual melting events in the Arctic.
It is also causing steady sea level rise, which scientists say
will continue for decades.

    A new study from Climate Central, a nonprofit research group,
shows that roughly 50 major coastal cities will need to implement
"unprecedented" adaptation measures to prevent rising seas from
swallowing their most populated areas.

Climate scientists reported in August the world is already
around 1.2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels.
Temperatures need to stay below 1.5 degrees, they say —
a critical threshold to avoid the most severe impacts of the
climate crisis.

         But even in the most optimistic scenario,
where global greenhouse gas emissions begin to decline today
and are slashed to net zero by 2050, global temperature
will still peak ABOVE that critical 1.5-degree threshold

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that Cubans fleeing unrest and persecution from the island’s communist regime would be turned away.

Are you suggesting that the Biden Administration is racist?

sea level rise may b the worst of the negative effects from burning fossil fuels bcuz so many large cities r located along coastal waters around the world
