All these stories about rivers going dry and exposing ancient rock carvings or Buddhist statues all have the underlying implication that the river has been this low before, so don't worry TOO hard folks. The news never explains that river's used to change course quite often before we started dredging channels, or that we moved the river ourselves when we dammed a lake.

I guess the hunger stones in Europe are an exception but I'm not sure.

Man announces he will quit drinking by 2050

A Sydney man has set an ambitious target to phase out his alcohol consumption within the next 29 years, as part of an impressive plan to improve his health.

The program will see Greg Taylor, 73, continue to drink as normal for the foreseeable future, before reducing consumption in 2049 when he turns 101. He has assured friends it will not affect his drinking plans in the short or medium term.

Taylor said it was important not to rush the switch to non-alcoholic beverages. “It’s not realistic to transition to zero alcohol overnight. This requires a steady, phased approach where nothing changes for at least two decades,” he said, adding that he may need to make additional investments in beer consumption in the short term, to make sure no night out is worse off.

Taylor will also be able to bring forward drinking credits earned from the days he hasn’t drunk over the past forty years, meaning the actual end date for consumption may actually be 2060.

To assist with the transition, Taylor has bought a second beer fridge which he describes as the ‘capture and storage’ method.

Which ones banned all the emitting forms of transportation in a enforceable way?

I saw Hong Kong, Singapore, and a few others etc use enforceable mechanisms but didn’t ban the use of natural gas powered transit.
Yo, I just wanted to get irrationally mad at the guy crowing about being first to mandate a technical solution enabling us to continue Consuming our way out of this mess. If it helps I'll admit I was wrong about a number of euro initiatives and thought some of them were far further along the legal pipeline.

Either way, electric cars might buy us some time but they won't save us.

Electric cars and solar and what have you only buy time if their introduction results in a corresponding decrease in the extraction and use of fossil fuels. This has never happened.

no worries, im just riding the Casandra wave of knowing that a strong and empowered regulator like CARB is the only option but also that CARB isn't powerful enough to actually drag us across the finish line and also that Democrats will certainly sabotage the climate programs in the name of "winning elections."

like arguably we should be making more long term choices, but in our current sociopolitical structure we don't make long term choices, we make long term lies. Ending final gasoline vehicle sales in 2035 isn't as fast as it should be, but its also probably as realistic as CARB can make it within their limited fiefdom. But actually laying down a line in the sand, saying that the world will change, and that you can't do something because of those changes; that's a huge leap from the normal cowardice we get. So of course I expect it to be dismantled by Gavin and pals, but its a glimpse at what the world could look like, a reality beyond our current decline.

and agree completely on EVs not being a savior. but on the flip side, our car culture is so decadent that we could have 20-40% of the fleet as EVs and still be able to justly collapse down towards a non-personally-owned-vehicle car culture world and still make use of all those EVs. even those lovely teslas can be converted to last mile delivery, or accessability, or rural microtransit, etc til they blow up.
