  1. Look into Big Asphalt in CT. look at how they use the water and air: what incentive does the state have to impose laws when the state is their biggest customer?

  2. We are going go need a fundamentally different financial system in order to adapt to climate change. What is happening now, worldwide, is only the beginning.

  3. Paying farmers is a huuuuge waste of tax dollars if they don’t change the way they farm. Swales, perennials, no till, no livestock, correct plants for the region, regenerative farming, but this could all fail because things are going to get worse if we don’t stop producing greenhouse gas and start removing it from the atmosphere. We have a lot of work ahead of us as a species. Most simple thing people can do is eat plant-based diet.

  4. At least the NBC hosts didn't say the words 'climate crisis.' Just report the facts please, no conjecture about why. After all, we're witnessing a third La Nina year in a row.

  5. sure, big drought and no body is aware… why? cause we are forced to here about Trump troll and all that his terrorist world has to offer. He has to go, and it has to stop, smoke and mirror BS. We have to get back in touch with our planet, not what orange worm is corrupting, he is the corruption.

  6. Well last summer it did nothing but rain. As I write this and am preparing for my weeklong backpacking trip its pouring. It been raining all night. We will be fine. I thought farmers were mostly right-wing conservatives. Strange how when things go bad, they become liberals who want federal aid. All kidding aside I do wish them the best as it's been a very dry summer.

  7. The water levels are so low that the crayfish and the perch are forced into a small amount of water. I went out to fish. There was no sport in it. I came back to feed them. Fortunately it is raining today.

  8. Im 51 years old and I never remember a year of droughts worldwide. and its in places that last year were…I have even noticed we dont have nearly the birds we had at the beginning of summer. Not even any crows, Something is going on with the Sun its been a weird year. .
