Meanwhile...elderly couple gets trapped in snow and freezes to death.

In Arizona.

Lack of rainfall means that rivers, creeks and lakes stop flowing and dry up, leaving ponds and marshes ideal for mosquitos

This kind of stuff is literally what climate science has predicted. The faster warming in arctic regions is leading to destabilization of the jet-stream which causes waves of very cold air to come south.

>>11208819

Wow.

>>11208003

Climate change must be the answer. Please ignore the extra couple of hundred million more Africans.
It MUST be Western made climate change!!!

once a century

so how many places is that happening on earth right now by odds?

so there was a worse drought 100 years ago when climate change wasn't even considered

>>11208826
1st - China
2nd - USA
3rd - India

Those are the largest polluters, in order. Notice how all these are built to make shit for the fat consumers of USA. So really its the USA thats done all of this.

it won't.

Don’t care. We can build our own river.

>>11209277

they imported too many immigrants and fractured their society

In other news, "water is wet!"

>>11208003
I bet it has nothing to do with Africans being absolute shit tier when it comes to water management.

>>11208003

well shit boys, time to raise the taxes, that will fix the problem

>>11208003
It looks like that every year during dry season, sad how gullible people are.

>>11208826
>climate change isn't real
>actually it is real but it's niggers
So? Whether America or China or Niggerland is fucking over climate stability, we need to fix it. It wouldn't be the first and won't be the last time white men save Africa from itself.

>>11208003
>in a century
So what happened 100 years ago?

For fuck's sake, look at all of you. This is not a fucking joke. This is not something to "kek" about. I hate my species, because almost all of its members are literally content with walking down a road that has multiple warning signs of death to come.

Go the other way. Drag the ones that do not want to with you.

climate science seems to be right down to the minute though.

>>11211572
What's the point in not having children in order to save the earth to make it habitable for my children? That makes no damn sense. Because that is the only way to stop the climate crisis, apart from suicide (and/or murdering as many as I can, and then suicide), all other means are nothing but pointless pats on the back.

The environmentalist agenda makes no sense. The world won't get saved by cutting down on eating meat, or by reducing flying, if everyone still gives birth to 2 children who themselves just cut down on eating meat, or by reducing flying. It's the insanely expansive birthrates in China and Africa are the real problem, as well as American overconsumptious capitalism and their constant need to sell their lifestyle to others in order to feed their own.

I'm innocent. "Everyone" is not responsible, because then no one is. I'm going to have children. Because of this, I'm already such a large climate criminal that it's not worth trying to do anything otherwise. I'll get rich though, ensure that my children are in a very advantageous situation when the eventual collapse occur.

You know mosquitoes thrive in stagnant water right?

>>11211661
We go to nuclear power. We begin travelling by bicycles, and for distances longer than a few kilometers, you hop onto an electric train that you stow your bike on. We use electric boats or sailboats. We use electric planes.

Cities become highly-populated centers that are dotted amongst untouched nature, aside from railways for transportation.

We stop using so much plastic. We go back to canvas bags that last you decades. We start focusing on repair, instead of replacement.

===

I get what you mean though. It seems as if none of us have the power to change anything, so why attempt to do so, when all you will get are odd looks and a less joyous life? What we need is to unite all at once and demand change. We could begin truly solving this problem tomorrow if we just did not go to work. Companies would listen. Governments would listen. We just need to convince militaries to carry out the wills of their peoples, rather than their governments.

>>11208812
You don’t know this but flagstaff has always been one of the snowiest places in the United States. Around 100 average inches of snowfall per year. Syracuse is the only “large” (>30k) town with more annual average snowfall. The only thing that beat those are the small towns near mountains claimed by snow resort companies and a few shithole ports in Alaska. It’s also at 7,000 feet elevation while Phoenix is at 1,000 feet. Oh, and it’s in the middle of a national forest. Not all of arizona is Phoenix/Tucson.

>>11209242
getting rid of the US would fix almost every problem

>>11209473
There literally is no water. Also most states have done well with water management.

>>11209464
Because peepull still don't know how a lot of places have drastic peaks and valleys of water in the environment. Not saying claimed change doesn't exist but Lake Chad fluctuates a lot aad statistically it's reduction in size isn't due to human actions or CC.

>>11211661
>It's the insanely expansive birthrates in China and Africa
Rock bottom fertility rates for the former and the latter uses way less resources and declining fertility rates Stop trying to blame the yellows and blacks for your inabiltiy to make changes in yourself.

>>11211661

Ah, someone mentioned the elephant in the room. Well said, Sir.
The biggest fuckfest about all the hand wringing about climate change and extinction events is hardly anyone mentions population.

This may interest you, it contains some intelligent discussion about the issue, it's not the usual reddit liberal soccer mom circle jerk. Far from it.

This is why I'm a climate accelerationist. The Africans will die first. Northern Europeans will be the last to survive.

>>11212062
Incredibly based

>>11208380

>This is not something to "kek" about. I hate my species, because almost all of its members are literally content with walking down a road that has multiple warning signs of death to come.
Kek, I hate this species that is why I am walking straight ahead towards the warning signs.
I want this species to die out so hard and fast that I will get a 50's car just to burn more carbon faster

>>11211661
We need less taxes.
India is having their industrial revolution and their carbon will increase, but when everyone get better living standards the carbon and amount of children will go down.

>What about all the south afrcan white farmers running productive semi-arid farms with sophisticated irrigation systems getting raided and genocided?

The vast vass majority of people killed are not white and those white owned farms among all over farms in South Africa are struggling due to climate change and general shifts in the global market. worker abuse on those farms are pretty rampant.

>>11212062

Enjoy your crippled healthcare infrastructure and wildlife retard. Or did you fucking forget that Northern European countries warming up increases livable land for parasite populations/diseases such as ticks and lyme disease.

You mean the fucking Zambezi? Dr. Livingstone I presume? Ringing any bells dingleberry?

>>11211700
All the stuff between the cities can't be untouched because it's currently covered in the farmland that feeds the cities. Do you think food for seven billion people can grow on the roofs of skyscrapers?

>>11216764
Do you have more?

>>11216780
No, but in greenhouses. It is time we built vertical farms.

>>11208003
how unfortunate for life.

>>11208003

This turns out not to be the case.

Every year, during the dry season, parts of the falls "dry up," and that has happened again this year. And the rest of the falls continue falling, which is also what has happened this year.

https://www.traveller24.com/Explore/Green/watch-has-victoria-falls-really-dried-up-20191209-2

Yeah, there's a drought going on there. No, the falls have not "dried up."

>>11209155
>Comparing dry and wet season pics...

>>11209306
The reasons for the fall of Rome are hugely complex, and more on topic for /his/, but saying any one thing was THE thing responsible indicates that you don't know enough about it to form a valid opinion.

>>11217559
We all klnow what happened to Africa's water sources, why how and by whom.

Pretending is a dry season issue is just malevolent.

>>11208003
>We'll keep them north of the Zambezi till that river's running dry

>>11208003

>>11208826
African countries emit a fraction of what developed countries do

>>11218872
at the moment

>>11218878
Developing countries don't work though the stages that developed countries do, they leapfrog to the newest/cheapest technology. There's no reason to believe their emissions will ever rival the US.

>>11208380
Fewer, not less.

>>11218878
lmao you're a fucking retard.

>>11218872
His point isn't about CO2 emissions, its about the possibility of tons of new Africans requiring more land and food so they divert more water from rivers for agricultural purposes.

>>11219466
But they don't though and many agricultural techniques they employ both modern and traditional don't really do that.
