Drought

[Anonymous No.14676433]

How will we deal with the increasing droughts? This is in Switzerland, so desalination is not really an option. Do we need to build new reservoirs in the mountains?

Water supplies that depend on rainfall are fine. Water supplies that depend on something else are not.

Just burn some coal tar in order to create micro particles in order to create microscopic condensationcores for the rain to form.

It hasn't rained for weeks in Switzerland. Without melting glaciers or reservoirs, there's simply no water. If the glaciers that used to melt in summer and regrow in winter don't act as reservoirs anymore, we need alternatives.

Where do you think, river water in the mountains comes from in summer? They have always been melting and regrowing.

Mass migration and rationing. Increased desalinization. Probably lots of places won't try to deal with it at all until it's too late/won't have the resources to deal with it and we'll see localized societal collapses w/ some large scale die offs.

No. Its just you smug fucks are the most uptight uppity assholes west of the Urals. Absolute cunts, the lot of you. Admittedly the Dutch come a close second but at least they didn't buy German ME109s to shoot down crippled Allied bombers who were trying to limp home over a small piece of your airspace. Yes, that all happened a long time ago, and yes the USAF then bombed a couple of your towns to make you cunts quit your Captain Nazi behavior. Yeah, that brought you stupid fucks to heel real fast. But the whole sordid tale perfectly represents the sort of cunt attitude and fucked up values you unbearable assholes retain to this day.

The last time there was a proper air battle between allies and Swiss was in September 1944, which was way after the bombing of Schaffhausen. The next allied bombing incident was half a year later, when the war was almost over.

Perhaps, but it also may have the side effect of causing deinvestment from certain companies depending on who or what is targeted and the size of a given operation. Bin Laden specifically targeted the world trade centre, and that almost caused a global recesion if memory comes to mind.
Finacial markets for safe dividend or steady growth assets don't like instability, and depending on who or what is targeted and at what capacity I could see such acts as creating a public backlash but also adding a fear factor on the markets (am I going to loose money here, or will working here jeopodise me in some way). I'm saying this based on comedy central's refusal to portray muhammad was primarily out of fear they would get bombed. It does have an impact on the psyche of people and impact buisness descisions to some extent. I don't think enviromentalist activists would do this however, as they have no incentive to do this. If the goverment started clamping down on the current modes of enviromental protest, then maybe because the current forms of protest are permitted because they contain more radical elements from emerging. However, I don't think that will ever come to pass as it is useful to have a light approuch so as not to alienate the wrong people.

If you can see water on the surface then it means there is still plenty of it underground. You should only need to start worrying if underground water aquifiers deplete which is rather unlikely to happen in Switzerland.

We also have a culture of telling people "dude, you need to lose weight, you literally look like a and smell like filthy pregnant sow, which is burning my retinas".

You can't move to Zürich. It's impossible to find an apartment. You might be able to move a ring 1 or ring 2 suburb, in which case your commute is 30min+ if you don't mind.
But yes, obviously the money will be better. You don't NEED to learn Swiss German, since everyone will accommodate you, if you don't learn to understand it within a few weeks your social life will just be shit.
