Great article to bring clear awareness of the real problem.

We should be awakening sooner that later to this truth.

Water is the main issue to solve! an the solution are clear (just not profitable as EV)

Slow water, infiltrate, recover healthy soils, more vegetation, reduce solar albedo, more small scale farming, more low clouds, more convective storms.

It is a kind of storm "a local storm, invariably produced by a cumulonimbus cloud and always accompanied by lightning and thunder, usually with strong gusts of wind, heavy rain, and sometimes with hail."

Dr Milan Millan made a study and identified the reason why this storms in the Mediterranean where despairing. Rob Lewis wrote about this.

And I collaborated to talk about the case here in Santiago de Chile.

They are important because the can take away heat from the surface of to 12.000 meter.

(This is above main GHG)

As Alpha Lo says. "Heat goes up, but water goes down"

and that is just what we need to do!

Thanks for your comment. I agree. The solutions are relatively simple and straightforward. We don’t really need more science. We need to act upon the science that we know. We do however need to spread the word to other people of goodwill. That’s my passion.
