quote:

The past two years have been the driest back-to-back years in Northern California since 1976-77, leaving major reservoirs at record-low levels. Lake Oroville, in Butte County, the second-largest reservoir in the state and the largest in the State Water Project, was just 30% full Wednesday.

Even though Northern California received heavy rain in October, much of it soaked into the dry ground instead of running off into reservoirs. Since then, very little rain has fallen.

The State Water Project, approved by voters in 1960 and a key legacy of former Gov. Pat Brown, moves water from Northern California to the south. It takes melting snow from the Sierra Nevada and transports it from Lake Oroville through the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta all the way to the Los Angeles Basin. In normal times, it supplies drinking water to two out of three Californians — and irrigates about 750,000 acres of farmland.

trick question - both are worse. they're both figures of the same ideological formation. the view from nowhere is an anthropomorphic projection, a structural illusion built into bourgeois idealism. carlin was just a ventriloquist for exxon. cynical about everything except the conditions for the emergence of his own cynicism, unaware of his own structural function. a pathetic sop to boomer self-hatred and nihilism.

note they're still getting enough water for human use, just not enough for lawns or irrigation

quote:

Nemeth said her department is in discussions with seven of the 29 urban and agricultural agencies that contract to receive State Water Project water for them to receive “very modest” amounts of “health and safety” water next summer for fire fighting, hospitals and some indoor uses, including drinking water, toilets, showers and clothes washing, but not for landscape irrigation.

That amount will be 55 gallons per person per day, she said. The state could provide the difference if local water agencies cannot meet that amount, she added. The total the state expects to deliver of such “health and safety” water is 340,000 acre-feet. By comparison, all cities and farm districts have state contracts for 4.2 million acre-feet.

oh yeah no certainly. global average is a hilariously misleading and terrible metric which is precisely why it's so funny. because its uh, global which includes water that's a massive mass, and as water increasingly does so making far worse far frequent weather events and thermal swings. and that also means some areas will be getting turbofucked more and others in the opposite direction.

Contra the rad-liberal credo "It's not my job to educate you" every real communist understands it is absolutely their duty to themselves, their interlocutor, and all of humanity, yes, to educate. Nobody cares about your assumed superiority - if someone is misguided you're obligated to lead them to water, yes, we have to do that. Because there are people who dedicate a lot of time, effort, men, and money to confuse us (there are also those who have just have been duped and aren't, you know, malign but this doesn't change anything about our approach).

Most people who aren't communists are actually innocent dupes in a way, but their susceptibility to astroturf propaganda is a personality fault and mental weakness that discourse, especially online, can't fix. Thanks to the defunding and destruction of the public school system in the US few people, including communists and leftists (many of whom aren't much brighter than the average chud) can't think critically about anything and can't run their own lives let alone cast a vote for policies that would run others'. It's no accident that we're increasingly an ignorant and pliable population and the answer isn't platitudes or engagement with people who are run by their prejudices and worship ignorance, it's marginalization, deplatforming, and fighting head on with protests etc. Of course none of this matters because we're locked into hell future, so do whatever makes you feel best

I think only at the point you discover they're intentionally malign or so stupid or narcissistic as to be passively malign that it's worthwhile to disengage. Mostly everyone has a capacity for grasping the truth of things just a different pace about them. There are points where you will run against (almost) totally unmoveable ideology due to some material interest of theirs and maybe I can agree disengagement at that point if I wasn't rather stubborn. But, if there's an audience it's worthwhile nonetheless.

I don't think you can effectively marginalize people who outnumber you without being the enemy; it sucks and it's hard and it's not going to see results within your lifetime but PMJ's "educate people" take is the only path forward in a theoretical alternate reality where forward exists

With a good grasp of Marxism you can explain other people's ideas to them and let that play out for them. I've gotten very brainwashed Trumpers to think loving dialectically. They're really fully capable of it. Unfortunately you will absolutely hit a brick wall of ideology, compartmentalizatios so strong that anti-rationality has taken hold, and then you gotta call it quits there. Trump is a God to them and any evidence to the contrary is not heard, e.g. It's sad. Not all of them are fascists, some of them are just tremendously duped (most of them cradle to contemporary, many also brainwashed in military service). I hold out hope that there's something that can break the spell. I'm not sure. As for the real fascists they should be killed.

IPCC climate modeling doesn’t work off nation specific emissions estimates for this reason.

I know you didn't mean it this way, but this is a perfect example of how deep and pervasive climate science "denial" is.

Look at where the dotted line crosses the 1.5C line in the top part of this chart:


So the "science" says +1.5C in 2040 (19 years). It also has +/- 10 years built in around the 1/3rd and 2/3rds confidence levels, so 2030 is entirely plausible (9 years).

But thats the *old* IPCC estimate, the newer one doesn't have as simple a graph but basically moves the timeline up 5 years. So really the science/ipcc says "we could hit +1.5C in 2025".

Here in the CSPAM climate thread its a widely held view that the IPCC models are missing major factors, and the reports are watered down via the stakeholders and process it takes to publish them, and we've seen a track record of reality trending worse than the predictions.

So what that all adds up to is... we will very very likely see +1.5C globally within the 2020s.

Not 30 years, more like 5 - 10.

this is my old rant about why we have to include the baseline year when saying +degrees.

because maybe they meant +1.5C (from 2021 base year), which isnt insanely unreasonable
