When I first learned about the Medieval megadroughts in the early 00s, living in LA my first thought was "My god! We're living right in the beginning of one!"

I understand that weather patterns are changing, but a warmer atmosphere contains more water vapor. How do we explain "drought" to people who don't accept that the root cause is humans dumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere?

Some of what agriculture produces shares the blame.

"Vegans, vegetarians, fish-eaters and meat-eaters
in the UK show discrepant environmental impacts"

Would deploying atmospheric water generators at scale help?

Isn’t it amazing how people are either not paying attention or are in denial? Despite most folks having been exposed to the effects, one way or another 🙄
