"n K-P, the consequences of #GlobalWarming and #ClimateChange are evident in the changing of the #monsoon season, which now falls at a time when the #strawberry cash crop, a speciality of Charsadda, is to be cultivated."
".. unusual rains .. destroyed approximately 80 per cent of the fruit’s crop, leaving farmers in a deplorable state... "
"The #IndianOcean basin, the fastest warming basin in the world, will see accelerated #warming at a rate of 1.7°C-3.8°C per century during 2020-2100, a new research paper has projected, warning that this will lead to an increase in severe weather events, prolonged marine heatwaves and extreme Indian Ocean Dipole events that will influence the #monsoon and #cyclone development."
Did you know that putting floating solar on only 10% of the surface of all the reservoirs that humans have built could provide 110% of the electricity that we now are producing? Well, now you do.
The #AngloSaxon capitalist model ruined earth for humanity and many other species. #BigOil has been its undertaker, b/c #BigOilKnew.
If capitalism hadn't made the #GreenRevolution possible, human society would already have reached the #overshoot (1) point at the end of the last century:

One of my key threads. 😀
I really believe that this could solve a big part of the #ClimateCrisis, at least in regions with #AtmosphericRiver and #Monsoon conditions.
#ThrowbackThursday to September 2014 and a peaceful wander in the sand dunes, when monsoon clouds helped to keep the temperatures tolerable. A strong wind blew fine sand over the ridges. I love the subtle tones and colors of this moment.
I got quite excited about this photo, developed it to my liking, and then wondered how I missed it back then — only to find out that I had already picked a horizontal orientation version for my portfolio. 🤪
Human degradation of the #Amazon – by land clearance, fire, logging and mining – is pushing that system towards a tipping point, after which drier conditions would be expected to cause an abrupt “regime shift” in the rainforest, which would be unable to sustain itself and transport moisture."
#Rain!!! 2x in a week, and lasting more than half an hour now. It's cause for huge celebration. 🎉😃🎈 Could it be an actual piece of #Arizona#monsoon?? 🤞
🌧️ To balance all my whining about no rain, I must be sure to acknowledge 10 whole minutes of moderate shower this evening. Enough to dampen the ground and create a few puddles. Proverbial drop in the bucket, but since #Arizona had basically no #monsoon at all this year, every one of those drops counts. 💧 😍
Maybe a first in Phoenix but 2 different weather apps a bit ago warned “Severe thunderstorm in 22 minutes. 100% chance of rain.
It does look pretty intense outside with a LOT of lightning and thunder. This may actually pan out! I’m too indisposed right now to do my planned rain dance. But if anyone else is so-inclined, I’d appreciate it. @grumpywitch @Manny #Phoenix#Monsoon#Arizona
