“Climate anomalies” is a very mild sounding way of calling what’s happening globally. Well done.

- porkbeer 3y agoHas more to do with their local geography, but any excuse right?
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoOf course. Climate change will impact different areas differently, based on local geography. Some areas get dry, others wet. If this was simply and only 'local geography', then why doesn't this happen all the time? Since local geography doesn't change.
- zmgsabst 3y agoClimate has cycles, besides the effect of global warming. Not every change in local climate is attributable to global warming. For example, SE Asia is settling into El Niño patterns — which cause it to be drier than its long term average. https://reliefweb.int/report/afghanistan/asia-and-pacific-el-nino-humanitarian-snapshot-latest-updates-southeast-asia-south-asia-and-pacific-30-november-2023 https://reliefweb.int/report/afghanistan/asia-and-pacific-el...
- dudeinjapan 3y agoClimate change is predicted to cause both more rainfall and more droughts—in the wrong places, of course.

- dudeinjapan 3y agoEven the mild days will become more extremely mild.

- dunslandsboo 3y agoWell, wether it's colder, warmer, dryer, wetter, the same or different, at this point all possibilities are predicted by someone to be the consequence of human CO2 production at this point
- baq 3y agoYes, but some more than others. A very zeitgeist example: warmer atmosphere stores more moisture and/or energy, thus causing more abrupt and violent changes of weather patterns - see the polar vortex breaking up and brining -40 degrees temperatures to unusual places in North America. This is something you can’t really negotiate about, it’s just applied thermodynamics.

- ornornor 3y agoDidn’t realize, thanks for the link.
- sschueller 3y agoThe issue was clearly predicted. Even ignoring climate change it would have been a problem but they went ahead with the changes and now don't want to admit that the experts warned them.
