Seems I recall concerns about “politicizing the justice department” not too long ago. I guess we don’t worry about that anymore?

Nope, don’t have to worry at all. You can rest assured that it is now fully politicized,

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.

Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

Currently, there are few plans or comprehensive guidance on salinization threats for people who oversee rivers, estuaries and drinking water supplies. To change this, the researchers developed a risk management framework to help officials understand where and when salinization might happen along their waterways as climate change accelerates. They zero in on methods to determine the types of hazards, probability, salt exposure, and vulnerability a freshwater ecosystem may face. The Patuxent River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, for instance, has experienced high rates of salinization in recent years.

I’m sure the Muskrats will get right on this. By squashing any research into this issue and eliminating the data. Yeah, that’ll work.

Thanks; that was an optimistic piece. I followed it up with his video on what progress has been made to combat climate change; which countries are doing what, and that also was optimistic.

Finland’s rainy future
Finland will see an increase in rainfall over the coming decades, according to a report from the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).

Keskisuomalinen reported that intense summer rainstorms are anticipated to become more severe, and heavy rainfall may lead to flooding.

Finland is located in an area where precipitation is expected to increase due to global warming. By 2050, Finland’s annual rainfall is projected to increase by 5–10 percent compared to the period from 1981 to 2010.

“Climate projections are always based on 30-year averages,” said researcher Anna Luomaranta, who led FMI’s working group.

Precipitation is expected to increase the most during the winter months in Finland, and observations from 1961 to 2023 show that this trend has already occurred.

In northern regions, winter precipitation has increased more than in Southern Finland, with heavier snowfall possible if temperatures remain cold enough, according to Luomaranta.

“The further north, the more winter precipitation, and winter is becoming shorter.”

Globally, last year was the warmest year on record and also the first year when the Earth’s average temperature surpassed pre-industrial levels by 1.5 degrees.
