The snowfall in the Rocky Mountains is the primary source of water for the Colorado River; however, climate change is making the western United States hotter and drier, which is causing the river's flow to decrease. In addition to this, there has been a megadrought that has lasted for 23 years, the worst in 1,200 years, and abuse of the nation's main reservoirs by western states, which has caused damage to these reservoirs.

2023-02-01 at 5:56 AM UTCThe people in political and economic power know what is coming because of their privileged access to information
Only two years ago the US Pentagon said that climate change was the number one threat to national security, but no one ever talks about that.
The billionaire class and their economic and political hangers-on are just amassing as much wealth as possible as quickly as possible because they know what's coming. -

Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The truth is the world is in population decline. The liars tell you the exact opposite of what the truth really is.
So the top 1 Billion people consume as much as the bottom 7 Billion? Therefore if the top 1 Billion consumed half or 1/3 or 1/10 we could have 10 Billion people on this planet easily. So goes the argument of the overpopulation sceptics that think its all just because of overconsumption.
The problem is: The 7 Billion want to consumemoreas well. Meaning if the top 1 Billion reduces their consumption from 100 to 50 - then the remaining 7 Billion will increase theirs from 100 to 150.
Basically if you dont force the 7 Billion people to remain poor - they will eat up all the consumption released by the 1 Billion consuming less. Because at our current population level even the level of Ghana is allready too much. If everyone on the Planet consumed the same amount of resources as the people of Ghana - we would still need 1.3 Earths.
If we want for all people to live like the top 1 Billion - then 1 Billion people is the absolute maximum we can sustain. Even half the quaility is 2 Billion max - certainly not the current 8 Billion and certainly not 10 Billion+.
So the options are :
- Force everyone to live even below the consumption level of Ghana (just so we can have more people)
- Have far less people
No one will radically alter their consumption though. Perhaps they will voluntarily reduce it by 10 or 20% but certainly not by 1/3 or half.
Population has been increasing faster than predicted and will reach over 10 Billion by 2050 (estimates from the early 2000s claimed some 9.5 Billion by 2050).
So it is a mathematical certainty that our population - coupled with our consumption will eventually lead to collapse in the next few decades. No going vegan - and no green energy hopium will save us. -

The Pentagon also said the Afghanistan withdrawal was successful. -

lol no.
its the other way round,
those in power have the monopoly of information control and they are using these public information dispensers under their control to convince you what they want you to believe. -

As the river shrinks, talks to save it are increasingly pitting the longstanding senior water rights of farmers against explosive metropolitan growth.

The human gut microbiome — bacteria and other microorganisms living in our gut that are essential for our survival — are endangered. Overuse of antibiotics, elective C-sections and processed foods are just some of the factors that are killing off these bacteria that we need to live healthy lives.
