What happened to the drought? I thought it was a climate crisis.

Drought

Cherry picking going on this Tuesday.

Quote:
An estimated 55 million people globally are affected by droughts every year, and they are the most serious hazard to livestock and crops in nearly every part of the world. Drought threatens people’s livelihoods, increases the risk of disease and death, and fuels mass migration. Water scarcity impacts 40% of the world’s population, and as many as 700 million people are at-risk of being displaced as a result of drought by 2030.

Since we’re finally getting our Summer rain in The Villages the world is OK.

I must say, I find your logic to be rather confused.

For decades, the scientists have been saying that climate change will cause some areas to be wetter than usual, and other areas to be drier. Likewise, some areas will be hotter than usual whereas others will be colder.

Yet, when exactly what they predicted is actually taking place, you cite this as evidence that climate change is not real?

Crisis? Florida's weather, except for hurricanes, seems as predictible as a clock.

It also means more extremes. More rain AND more droughts - though I know that sounds counter-intuitive. Up herein New England, we had a long dry spell not too long ago and now we have flooding in Vermont. In California the "rain superhighway" did a number on their mega-drought. It means that old methodologies for predicting specifics are changing because we're literally defining a "new normal". Well, new to us. Carbon levels this high HAVE been seen by other species that are still on the planet.

All of this is normal. The earth goes in cycles, we get El Niño or La Niña every so many years and this has nothing to do with climate change. There’s been predictions from the so-called climate scientists that all of the ocean border cities will be under water over 50 years. We are supposed to be in a starting ice age phase since it’s been over a few hundred thousand years

It IS real, but we call it seasons.

It is a world crisis and maybe you should look up the difference between weather and climate.

It does rain in a desert sometimes still a desert. In case you haven’t noticed much of the world in the middle of a heat wave

I am truly shocked that so many people still do not understand the difference between climate and weather. I blame it on the politicians who bring snowballs to congressional hearings to disprove climate science.

Don't you do any legitimate research? Global Warming/Climate Change involves extreme weather and climate. Research before you open your mouth!
