But this is being caused by agricultural runoff, not carbon emissions. It’s also not clear how I it affects the weather.
Seems “climate change” has become a buzzword for any type of pollution.

- pyuser583 5y agoThe article doesn’t mention flooding or extra rainfall. Edit: blah sorry it mentions flooding. not rainfall, but flooding.
- calkuta 5y agoWeather and climate may impact the severity. The root cause of the problem is pollution and that should not be obfuscated.
