The effects on agriculture in Morocco, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria will be devastating.
The extreme Mediterranean heat will cause even more extreme flooding even more extreme droughts and even more extreme wild fires than was seen in 2021-2024
2025-2029 will be MUCH worse

Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

If @drjamesehansen.bsky.social at all. (2025, mainly based on NASA CERES observations) is correct about the very strong shipping SOx forcing, the climate is more sensitive to anthropogenic forcings (incl both GHGs and aerosols).
Which e.g. means we need much faster mitigation and adaptation.

We're told one of these land uses is 'productive', while the other is not.
But in terms of photosynthetic levels, as well as the production of clean air, water, no flooding, a stable climate, etc, etc, the natural ecosystem wins hands down.
As for biodiversity, let's not even go there.
