    Without even reading the article (for my own mental wellbeing) I can tell you it’s climate change and it’s just yet another thing on top of the pile and things will get much worse over the next decade.

    But at least since about 2-3 months ago we suddenly stopped talking about climate change and how it will be a near humanity ending event, so at least I stress a little less.

      Yes, as we burn more fossil fuels and raise the temperature, water evaporates faster and the air holds more, so you get both more intense dry periods and more intense rainfall.

      The WSJ leaves out the fossil fuels part.

      And how bad it gets is a human decision

        WSJ left out the fossil fuels part? Like, the actual cause of the biggest catastrophe in human history, ever, that is happening right now?

        Go figure.

          Most of the English-language press leaves that out: the fossil fuels industry is a major advertiser
