Hydrology. It’s easy to formulate a hypothesis that hydrology is going to be the snake in the grass of climate change. We establish, agriculture, cities and civilizations where there is enough water, and if rain- or snow-fall patterns move, the adaptation costs become enormous.
In case you're not aware, Tehran is a city of ~10 MILLION people. "Rivers and reservoirs are running dry, while groundwater sources have been overexploited to sustain agriculture and urban growth."

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.
SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.
