I also like the West is like let's build a pipeline from Mississippi to west. I'm like don't they know about drought season? They need to do what they can in their own states first, aka rebuilding more efficient infrastructure before involving other states.
Now seems like a good time to divert the Mississippi to the west…
Nature putting arrogance in its place.
Next on the menu: American Human Habitat Loss, Managed Retreat, Planetary Hospice- irreversible abrupt climate change is already here. Science illiterates and climate change denialists- conflating science facts with conspiracy theories and insufferable republican rage grievance hysterics. WE ARE THE EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENTS🌊🌊 🇺🇸🦖☄️🌊🌊
Great, glad I’ll be dead by the time that SF weather turns into LA.
We are screwed.
PREACHER MAN SAYS IT THE END OF TIME….
AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IS A GOIN DRY…..
DID SOMEONE SAY THAT?
This is what happens when you destroy Earth and you ignore climate changes years and years ago !!!
I meant the Missouri and the Plattt Rivers are flooding now and the water should get to Mississippi River soon.
Wyoming and Montana are having floods so, the Res River and the Platt River will be sending lots it water soon. Maybe no the Platt but another river near Wyoming.
Climate change is a big fat ZERO!
The Preacher Man Says That It's The End Of Time. The Mississippi River She's Going Dry.
Hank Williams Jr. Country Boy Can Survive
the not so great reset
These pics with a dry riverbed are oxbows coming from the main river. Total BS! To show those pics, it's a Lie
More FAKE NEWS
This is the river they want to divert water from?
Just lay solar panels on the ground and use a windmill to push the boat… TRUMP2024
Everyone Involved in the Spraying of the Skies. Need to be Charged with Crimes Against Humanity and Life itself.💯
( That's Your Climate Change)
Just a reminder:
It would be lot cheaper to start dealing with these issues ahead of time that it is to clean up after they're already a goddamned problem. It is the biggest waster of money I have ever seen in my life.
Klaus Swaub the CIA goldfish from American Dad says we will own nothing by 2030 and be happy
#MHLivingHistory
Like our politicians behavior if you ignore it long enough you will be sorry!
happening 15 to 20 early, get ready
Climate change and no one wants to deal with it, just ignore the sky falling around you. Governments and corporations will never change so whats the point. Humans deserve to be wiped out at this point.
That ain't a photo of the Mississippi. Looks like the Cumberland
New Green Deal!!!
No trains roads and 18 wheelers in that part of America?
Still think Climate Change is fake?
Still voting for people who lie to you and tell you it's fake?
Maybe you might want to start voting for those that want to try to fix it.
Maybe if they build a volleyball court in the middle of the river it will help?
Look at how low this river is. This is one of the biggest rivers in the world. Major rivers & lakes all over the planet are drying up. This doesn't just impact global shipping, but also fresh water supplies. As time passes, vast regions which have been watered by these rivers & lakes will become more & more arid, unable to support agriculture. As global temps rise, glaciers & the polar caps will melt faster & faster, dumping almost unimaginable amounts of fresh water into the world's oceans. This enormous influx of fresh water will slow, & then eventually halt, the global oceanic currents. Warm & cold waters will cease to circulate around the planet. This is the earth's vast, natural climate regulator. For instance, the warm Gulf Stream carries heat to northern latitudes, making Canada & northern Europe habitable for humans. Stop the Gulf Stream, stop the heat, & those regions will dive into a deep freeze, completely unable to support any but the most hardy of humans. Stop warm air from moving away from the equator, & eventually, even the mighty Amazon rainforest will become a desert. Scariest thing is, we can prepare for climate change, we can adjust for it, we can attempt to mitigate it somewhat – but we cannot stop it. It's speed is increasing exponentially, the snowball rolling down the hill faster & faster. Honestly, the disasters are just going to get worse & worse. Some of our ancestors survived the last change 11,000 yrs. ago. Different world now. Will we do the same? Maybe a 50/50 chance. Time will tell.
Unpopular comment: climate change in action
HEY EVIL BIDEN, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE JULY STILL IN OCTOBER!
It's a man-made disaster.
Nonsense! All this science talk is just fake news! Weather changes all the time! Remember when it was called different stuff before? How long have these "scientist" been fearmongering?! All we need is Jesus and cheap gas. Ha. We're not falling for this fake weather stuff! We too smart!
Really? Is California all ready sucking it out for there waste use?
The US will really feel the effects when millions of people come to share our limited resources. Do not believe me? Keep an eye on the southern border.
At this point I feel like these supply chain shortages are manufactured shortages they are not shortages happening despite of people in Powers best efforts.
People going to pay for this, the people who are pulling the strings that is.
The exact same problem is happening in Europe and the UK. Unfortunately a significant percentage of the US public is very easily duped and because of that the fossil fuel industry's PR campaign to "create doubt" that pollution from burning fossil fuels isn't the cause of climate change the world is in this mess. There are still plenty of Americas who refuse to believe pollution has anything to do with this problem. Even if all pollution were to stop today it will take decades if not longer to reverse the affects. As with a fast moving freight train, you can hit the breaks but it will take quite awhile until that train comes to a stop.
Bro this is normal. It was just flooding a couple months ago. Quit trying to drum up more chaos. It'll be flooding by next year again.
🎶Look what they've done to my song, Ma. Look what they've done to my song🎶
Repent come back to Jesus he’s coming very soon
Climate Change.
