  1. This is Fkn fear mongering horsesht!
    It rains all the time in the NE. In 2018, in PA, we received over 72inches of rain between June and October. It devastated so much property.
    Just because it isn’t raining 3-4 days a week as it usually does around here, doesn’t mean there is a “drought”.
    We could go another few years without that kind of rain and be just fine.
    It’s about time people in the NE get to enjoy a dry summer rather than have their vacation plans constantly rained on.

  2. The scam artists are infesting the comments

  3. That lady kills me 😂
    "I'm kinda worried cause my grass is dead"
    Like that's the least of our problems 😂

  4. How come we’ve known about aeroponics for a very long time which grow food with barely any water, but we still keep growing the old way of wasting land and water?

  5. Water = Life, Lies cost water, therefore your all dead, you all should have watched what you said.

  6. NO ANY GOVERMENT ARE INTERESTED TO CURE THE PLANET AND TO SAVE THE HUMAN RACE AND CONTINUE THE MINING AND DEFORASTATION AND POLLUTION AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY PLANET ARE DIE OR THE GOVERMENT ARE WAIT THE BIG EXAMPLE OF CLIMATE CHANGE ? , ALL DISASTER ARE MADE OF THE LOST OF FUEL OF THE PLANET,, THE METAL,MANY TYPE OF MINERAL OIL GAS CARBON, PLUS POLLUTION AS A KILLER OF LAVA INSIDE THE LAND ,, THE PLANTS AND TREES ARE THE SOURCE OF SUPPLY OF FUEL OF THE PLANET AND HUMAN ARE CONTINUE DESTROYING THE FOREST,, THE FUEL OF THE PLANET ARE FOR ONLY 20 YEARS REMAINING AND AFTER THAT FUEL ARE LOST LAVA INSIDE THE LAND ARE DYING AND PLANET WILL SUFFRED OF SUPER GIANT EARTHQUAKE FOR 1 YEAR WITHOUT STOP AND ALL LAND IN THE SURFACE OF THE PLANET WILL COLLAPSE INTO THE OCEAN AND NO MORE LAND FOR 25 YEARS AND IFTHE OCEAN ARE STARTING TO REDUCE THE WATER UNTIL DRY THE LAST ARE THE BURNING OF THE PLANET,, THE SITUATION OF THE PLANET NOW ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE ALL GOVERMENT ARE NO INTERESTED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF HUMAN RACE,, WHAT IS THE SERVE OF MONEY IF YOU ARE DIE ?

  7. Question: What fueled the droughts in the entire decade of the 1930's?

  8. Gee, have they curtailed golf courses? Hmm… not a problem until the golfers have to be just told NO

  9. But they ALSO complain of "mass flooding"….so which is it, too little rain or too much rain!? Make up your minds! In the 1970's they told us a new Ice Age was coming.

  10. NYC needs to clamp down on the water waste

  11. Here's my humble suggestion: stop BlackRock and other companies from financing farmers that are destroying the Amazon forest.
    Find another place to raise cattle and grow crops.

  12. The expert predictions have been WRONG for the last 60 years, but they’re going to start being correct now. Just wait.

  13. All a big con it's all a part of the new world order when it comes to the winter they will blame the cold on climate change wake up people

  14. Fueled by, or is an example of? Climate change is fueled by large wealthy companies that profit off of controlling environmental regulation to monopolize the resources. They didn't do a very good job and got greedy and want to convince you that somehow it is your fault and not theirs. This drought was fueled by greedy businessmen and is an example of climate change.

  15. Let's all give the politicians our money to save us from climate change. I know they'll do the right thing with it. Raise our taxes to the roof!!!!

  16. Yo, I hope you've been livin' light! Because if you haven't… your lifestyle is DEFINITELY about to change, big shot! 🤣😂🤣

  17. I live in this area and it's been a really quiet summer in my neighborhood. I haven't the sound of many lawn mowers running this year. Heck, I've only mowed about five times since Memorial Day, and 75% of my lawn isn't worth mowing. But comes with a blessing, I haven't been bit by any mosquitoes in months.

  18. It’s all part of the Soviet climate machine. And also it’s about control. Think for yourself, use logic and dismiss the media

  19. Go carbon 0. Sheffield cells nuclear fusion 2000

    That year professor Z at a minute during my PH D work, that the turbulent flow of steam or high pressure water did nuclear fusion. A process named molecular nuclear fusion by the late Professor Bernard Argent.

    But Dr. Z suddenly became professor Z, as nuclear power bought him a chair of chemical and process engineering. And 2004 he told me he was no longer interested in nuclear fusion.

  20. Yep, and the politicians that squawk about climate change and the Green New Deal just passed the biggest military budget in US history. Do any of you mo mo’s know that the United States military emits more green house gas than 140 countries combined? Vote blue no matter who? Lol! Dems are as much right wing warmongering d bags reps.
