The Fraser River average flow at the mouth is about 3,475 cubic metres per second.

Where does the water go? It comes back as rain somewhere. Or it goes back where it was extracted from.

 

Will it rain more then?  Ugh....

Well, it’s just the media hyping it like the water is gone. It’s not. It’s returned to this planet.

Yeah I thought water was the most sustainable thing really...  How do these data centre use water, like for cooling?  So it evaporates?  Could they use salt water?

Billions of litres per minute leave BC rivers and enter the ocean.

Chill.

Every single molecule of BC water that is diverted ends up crystal clear up in the atmosphere.

About the only thing that has changed is the language:

 

rain = atmospheric river

hot spell = heat dome

cold snap = polar vortex

weather = climate change

Greta Thunberg throws in her lot with the anti-capitalist Left

 

The activist has been showing a more overtly political stance in London

 

 

Interspersed among the usual directives about the need to pressure political leaders, her message was more radical and more militant than it has been in the past.

 

There is no “back to normal”, she told us. “Normal” was the “system” which gave us the climate crisis, a system of “colonialism, imperialism, oppression, genocide”, of “racist, oppressive extractionism”. Climate justice is part of all justice; you can’t have one without the others.

 

We can’t trust the elites produced by this system to confront its flaws — that’s why she, much like Rishi Sunak, won’t be bothering with the COP meeting this year. COP itself is little more than a “scam” which facilitates “greenwashing, lying and cheating”. Only overthrow of “the whole capitalist system” will suffice.

 

So now we are finally seeing the contours of Thunbergism. Run your eye down the contributors to The Climate Book and you can see who she’s been reading: Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth, Naomi Klein. For these people the climate crisis isn’t man-made. It’s made by capitalism, as are the other forms of social injustice which plague society. There’s no GDP growth — especially of the capitalist sort — without increasing carbon emissions. The only solution to this state of emergency is for rich countries to immediately abandon economic expansion as a social goal.

Meet the new Greta Thunberg: I'm going to war on 'racist capitalism'

The 19-year-old climate activist has now thrown her weight behind defeating the West's 'oppressive' capitalist system

I'd guess the regions farther from the equator also cooled a lot more during the last ice age.

Warming climate poses challenge to Arctic animals — and those who hunt them


https://www.cbc.ca/n...s-nwt-1.6667887


Global warming is making polar bears too scarce to hunt and kill. ?

That's what's been said for years...  This fellow reports differently...
