The dust can impact more than just a person’s health. Hahnenberger said dust storms can travel up to about 100 miles away.
“Some of this dust does get deposited on our snow. It makes the snow darker in color, and that makes the snow melt faster, which is a concern for our water supply,” she said.

That and Lake Mead rapidly approaching dead pool levels are making me think that this summer is going to be quite something in the western US. Nowhere is safe from climatic effects, but I don’t know how many more fire seasons I want to put my (or my kid’s) lungs through.
I take it the Mormons will see this as divine wrath for, what, not enough Mormons?
divine wrath for soaking, which produced too much moisture at their bedside, so naturally it had to come from somewhere else
Do they really do the soaking thing? I thought :brace-cowboy: was just being :brace-cowboy: last episode
it's a real thing that at least, like, 2 mormons have done at some point. probably not an actually common thing though.
For an explicit sex cult founded on the idea of one guy having forty child brides they sure are weird about sex.
The water crisis in California is really depressing, like everyone could see the water levels get lower every year but no one did anything about it. Like almond production has been increasing exponentially over the last 10 years, the industry consumes a massive amount of water to produce a shit-tier nut not native to California. And all the massive profits are horded by a few corporations and large landowners while overexploited migrant workers do all the acutal work.
Like the simplest thing would be to just stop the increase in production, given the impending crisis but the current system is completely unable to do anything.
It's even worse since the almonds are being grown wrong too with flood irrigation.
Like if Medieval Al-Andalus could figure out how to grow almonds in a similar climate but with less technology, so could California. It's just a matter of management. And if its not feasible, chuck the almond orchards out the window.
my dream of becoming tank girl is getting closer and closer
srsly tho shits fucked up
I think ima stick around and role play as a wastelander for a bit see if I cant give moisture farming a good try. :joker-shopping:
:fuckin-deserve: I want to say something, but I'm at work and Fedposting from a federally surveilled computer seems bad. So I will do the Liam and say I hope they have a Nice time(tm)
