Those damned emgineers.

Gotta grow them there fruits and veggies in the once bone dry California flat country that's not flooded lol

I was in a helo squadron 30 years ago out of North Island Air Station, we did workshops on emergency water dumps if called upon to assist state authorities. The redirecting of water in California is beyond significant, even those that administered that water flow admitted openly back then the environmental impact studies were a joke, with not one of them even remotely accurate as they were submitted with conclusions of "minimal impact".

Well, that was a straight out lie.....and Cali pays a price for those lies.

And the climate change makes it even worse!

Welp, it's made its way down here to us in VA.

Humanity probably learned to use fire because of forest fires. They are part of our human history. Fire gave us a giant tool to climb to the top of the animal kingdom

It hasn’t rained here for over two weeks and there is none in the forecast. Lots of fires and the forest is getting drier.

The north wind from the last few days has improved our air quality, blowing it towards you, unfortunately.

Sabotage.

Yes, the shifting climate isn't a good thing for "settled living". But then, the Earth has gone through heating and cooling periods across its history. Ice ages, high temp events, meteor strikes, tectonic plates that snap under the seduction process that actually slightly shift or alter the shape of the planet (which both the recent Thailand and Japan seduction events did in scientific fact do) all have an impact on altering weather patterns. Throw in 8+ billion humans now on the planet that are in some way, shape or form involved in industrial processes that has impacts on the atmosphere because we as a species are in denial that it's the numbers that are the problem, not said processes as we have the ability for emissions capture, and it spells out transitioning times ahead.

But I digress.

I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means.  😁
