Seit 30 Jahren warnen Klimaforscher: Erderwärmung führt zu mehr Extremregen. Die Messdaten bestätigen das schon lange.
Vielleicht wäre es doch gut, mehr auf die Wissenschaft zu hören?

I was curious. I searched for the Club of Rome's full text of #LimitsToGrowth 1) and then searched it for

    • rain*
  • precipitation
  • weather

👉no hits at all!👈. The report is about economics. It barely mentions #AtmosphericCO2 and focuses just on #ThermalPollution in one part.

There, you find 25 "rain" hits. Reading them, it becomes clear that 👉knowledge was very limited back then👈. No surprise, it doesn't talk about "extreme weather events" either:

The possible effects on the #Greenland ice cap are likewise unknown—whether it would increase because of an increase in precipitation or begin to melt, and how long it might take for such changes to occur, although 👉we believe any such changes would take many centuries. 👈"

It rained a lot here the other day. 162 mls in 14 hrs (over 6 inches). Rafe figured a flood was imminent so he took his favorite toy - Lion - and found high ground. 🤣

2024 has more extreme heat, extreme rain, and droughts coming.

Garden cisterns are the big brother of rain barrels, and could help you weather whatever 2024 brings.

Curious?

I've been reading up on them in preparation for my next house (and garden). Wrote up my notes in a blog post before it runs out my other ear.

The Recipe for Disaster That Is Causing Destruction in Himalayan States

The disasters unfolding in the hill states are a result of unplanned development on unstable mountains that are already facing extreme weather events, scientists and environmentalists said. Without planned, resilience-friendly development and adaptation measures such as district-level micro plans to deal with the changing climate, there may be no respite for the people or the environment in these regions.
