Global drying is a much more real - and more dangerous - climate change than global warming

Regardless of your stance on anthropogenic global warming and how significant 1ºC temperature increase in 100-150 years is overall, the threat of a much drier, more arid earth caused by human neglect for conservation should be the real threat from climate change.

It should be Global Drying, not Global Warming.

Someone needs to tell the world scientists they got it all wrong

Yep. Water is going to be a scarce resource. In the next 500 years at this pace unless human population growth plateaus at some point, temperatures will on average go up a few degrees but the biggest difference will be in daytime highs. The lows could be lower as less water overall translates to less humidity, lower dewpoints, and more radiational cooling, even on summer nights. Sort of like what you'd see in a place like Denver or LA in the summer times vs. a place like Cleveland or Chicago or NYC which is sticky humid and in the 70s at night, like saunas. As the dry line shifts east, more and more places will have more blistering days but moderately cooler nights. Summer will be longer and will start earlier in the year, sort of like what you see in polluted countries like India where the heart of the heat of summer starts in early to mid April and blisters on through September. Spring will be shortened and crops will become more erratic than ever, leading to more shortages and inflation because of mismanaged conservation of the environment.

They're not all wrong, but they overblew it big time, especially the radical left climate jihadis like the squad. But the fact is that some man-made climate change, global drying and -yes- some global warming from human industry is both real and inevitable. The only thing people can do is to have less babies or find alternate sustainable habitat planets beyond earth.

So climate change.

All you've got to do is jog or walk down the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River used to run a mighty fine stream through there; now it's a dry thin line of mud, for all practical purposes. I ran the Bright Angel Trail, August 2021. The Colorado River supplies water to pretty much every metropolis in the West outside of the PNW (Seattle, Portland, extreme NorCal etc). Once that dries up water will become extremely scarce for the entire West from Denver to Phoenix to Salt Lake City to Vegas to the LA cosmopolitan.

Did the OP know that warmer air can hold MORE gaseous water?

Put those together.
Amazing...

OP doesn't understand mutual exclusivity.

Seriously?

Yup, Hurricane Ian was so dry, people say, bigly dry, good people.
