Climate Change must be real. I just saw the first Robin of spring grubbing in my front yard...

Big population to be facing this.
“Water shortages are not uncommon in this neighborhood, but this time feels different, Gomez said. “Right now, we are getting this hot weather. It’s even worse, things are more complicated.”
Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world’s biggest cities, is facing a severe water crisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban development and leaky infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of climate change.
Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.”

Breathe deep, the gathering gloom…
“ Vast swaths of the continental US will be exposed to unhealthy, polluted air by 2054, according to an alarming new report.
Aerial view of an industrial plant, East St. Louis, Missouri
‘Safe’ air-quality levels in US, UK and EU still harmful for health, study says

Researchers at First Street Foundation, a non-profit that analyzes climate risk, found that one in four Americans are already exposed to air that is deemed “unhealthy” by the Air Quality Index (AQI), which provides daily air quality readings. That number is expected to grow by 50% in the next few decades, with an estimated total of 125 million Americans experiencing dangerous air pollution by the middle of the century .”
But hey, just slip back into your somnolence.

Re: All Things Environment
Forget People of the Corn. Now we are Polyethylene People.
Maybe Alabama can shed some light on this… You know, being such learned and erudite scientists.
“Microplastics have been found in every human placenta tested in a study, leaving the researchers worried about the potential health impacts on developing foetuses.
The scientists analysed 62 placental tissue samples and found the most common plastic detected was polyethylene, which is used to make plastic bags and bottles. A second study revealed microplastics in all 17 human arteries tested and suggested the particles may be linked to clogging of the blood vessels.”

While in Korea, they barely concern themselves with the weather, they judge their day buy the Air Quality and if it is an inside day and mask. Those same issues present themselves on our west coast....where we can find trace material of pollution generated from the East.

Re: All Things Environment
Thanks, Ronnie.
More and more of the poor, rural areas are slipping into failed state status.
But the Magats’ll fix it, right?
“Across the U.S., trillions of gallons of drinking water are lost every year, especially from decrepit systems in communities struggling with significant population loss and industrial decline that leave behind poorer residents, vacant neighborhoods and too-large water systems that are difficult to maintain.
Jackson, Mississippi, was already losing an estimated 65% of its water — including millions of gallons that had been gushing from broken pipes for years, turning some areas into wetlands — when the system almost collapsed in 2022, said Ted Henifin, the water system’s federally appointed third-party manager.”

It's a novel theory, might be correct, might not be.
But beyond the scientific exploration of competing theories, what is the importance?

Yes, but are we seeing an unusual amount of such over the past 100 years? 200 years?
Answer, no, though our ability to measure has improved immensely.
