The earth is the og of denied healthcare

I know Kentucky has been in a long term drought for some time now. We're still getting some rain occasionally but not nearly enough to move us out of the drought designation.

I’m in an area (sw PA) that’s typically pretty comfortable. This summer has been scorching dry. When I dug in my garden the soil was dry and crumbly a foot down. I couldn’t water enough to keep a garden growing so I gave up this year. Trees are clearly stressed. If we don’t get snow this winter…

dawnk777.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yes. Eastern WI doesn’t get as much snow as it used to.

larelli.bsky.social•106 days ago

I knew NY was having a dry fall but that’s so widespread- if we don’t get snow to replenish it will be a tough growing season

Anyway here's what Project 2025 says about NOAA, a co-author of those drought maps

berkeleyeve.bsky.social•106 days ago

it would be like musical chairs with agencies being stripped and never reassignned the resources and every one of them competing for less and less funding...

i just realised i was describing academia🤦🏼‍♀️

@NAFO a plan for @Project2025 set it on fire. https://youtube.com/shorts/cOcdMqEyOvU?si=h_HamR3rzNjsPQLJ

If you can't see the drought there isn't one

dreamchiever.bsky.social•107 days ago

Glad to see they’re sticking with the same plan as Covid…if we don’t test for it there won’t be any cases!

shipperxphile.bsky.social•107 days ago

My garden begs to differ. 🫤

thelionseye.bsky.social•107 days ago

If we don't have a CDC...we won't have any disease! Now drink your raw milk...of course it's full of bacteria!

jooltman.bsky.social•106 days ago

Correllary: If you've seen one drought, you've seen them all. (Reagan's Secretary of the Interior James Watt on redwoods, but same diff.)

marcyrw.bsky.social•107 days ago

I'm not sure how we (i.e. the planet) will survive the next four Trump years. He's appointed a literal climate denier to head the EPA. The dismantling of NOAA will create havoc and lead to myriad deaths. He's pulling out of the Paris Accords. He'll roll back any gains. Is the sky finally falling?

USA will someday come for the water in Canada.

jsharkey67.bsky.social•107 days ago

Even from a strictly business standpoint, the NOAA is a great service for almost everyone, other than the grifters who want to get paid directly by companies to provide information rather than have it paid through taxes.

caledhwa.bsky.social•106 days ago

Can’t wait to see what this does to aviation. Good luck folks!

thelionseye.bsky.social•107 days ago

Oh good, things are on the up folks! Climate crises resolved like Trump said. 👍👍

tamarosk.bsky.social•107 days ago

Sorry, but it's feeling a little doomsday. Like we're about to relive the thirties in more ways than one 😬

lylescout.bsky.social•107 days ago

Have no fear. Trump and his magic Sharpie will make quick work of that drought!

hayleycram.bsky.social•106 days ago

And do t forget the big tap in BC he will get turned on. Lol

zardogs.bsky.social•107 days ago

In 1992, my geography prof said that the proof of "Global Warming" would be more Atlantic storms turning into hurricanes, and more would be higher category.

That was right before he was out for a week to present to the UN.

Dr. Orman Granger

I just found out that he passed a few months ago.

bthalpin.bsky.social•107 days ago

Tell Trump that Spain is stealing all your rain.

theviolenceoftruth.bsky.social•105 days ago

If north America becomes the Sahara of global warming future, how long can society last? What if winter comes and we're left with more dry and heat. I don't think anyone has an idea of how horrible it will become. Hope I'm just alarmist but we're in new territory and denial and biz can't help.

nightpups.bsky.social•107 days ago

Isn't it like 50% is moderate+

megginitup.bsky.social•107 days ago

Is the white part not-drought?

cascsiany.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yes, the yellow into orange and red are progressively worse drought conditions.

webby.hunts.monster•107 days ago

I’m now fully believing the conspiracy theory that deodorant company’s like old spice are getting us ready to not take showers. We are so cooked

hayleycram.bsky.social•106 days ago

Get trump to turn on the water from BC. lol.

It's a good year to invest in an artificial tree.

Here in Connecticut, we haven’t had any substantial rain in months. I haven’t been able to use my fire pit due to the high chance of fires being started by wayward sparks. Hello climate change.😢💔
