Pirate's Cove

Up till now, water was always a low priority of the Cult of Climastrology, though, it was a big part of the Progressive (nice Fascism) movement, because, controlling your water is controlling your life, hence why you had Obama trotting out the Waters of the US rule, and now Biden giving it a whirl. Have a pond on your property that may flood once in a blue moon so that runoff goes elsewhere? Los Federales then control your property. The climate cult has finally determined that controlling water is a great way to control you. And if you think I’m over-blowing this, you haven’t been paying attention to what the climate crisis (scam) is all about

How Water Finally Became a Climate Change Priority

Last year, the world watched as punishing heat and drought killed people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and floods destroyed parts of Pakistan and the Philippines. This year, we’ve seen torrential rain drowning sections of coastal California. These events underscore the devastating role water can play in a changing climate, something I have been studying for the last two decades.

Between all these events I attended my first COP—the United Nations’ major climate change conference. My expectations here were mixed; in conversations with members of the water networks with whom I work, it was evident that we would have a lot of work to do to make it a more critical component of the climate negotiations process. Yet, to my joy and surprise, COP27 did just that—policy makers and advocates focused on, for likely the first time, the interactions between climate change and water. The international agreement (called the COP cover decision) that came out of the days of negotiations prioritized the need to focus on “water systems” and “water-related ecosystems in delivering climate adaptation benefits.” This agreement solidified the idea that water is a valuable resource that can help society become more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

This was a huge win. Talks at COP27 also reinforced the need for international cooperation to support countries and communities as they build water security—creating a reliable system in which society has enough clean water (not too much, not too little).

And who is in charge? Government, of course. Government that has no regard for you peasants. You elect them and they dictate your lives.

Water is complicated and simple at the same time. In the end, it’s about too much, too little, too poor quality in a particular place and time. A united voice for water accomplished something groundbreaking in November. We finally convinced the global political stage that the climate crisis is a water crisis. The real work starts now.

And what is the real work? Empowering government to control your water.
