  1. This isn’t a normal dry summer. This is the same type of Mediterranean summer experienced in California and the Mediterranean basin. With climate change, what England can expect is a more Meditteranean type of climate happening in the near future where the summers become dry and the rains return in winter. If climate changes goes really far, England can be at threat of being put in the same situation that the Spain and California are in right now.

  2. They should be turning to different means to boost the economy. There are plenty of other options. Especially with a country that has huge influence politically and economically. They can make plenty of more money with the fishing industry with them having loads of coastline and sea area. Some volcanic areas can also be extremely rich in minerals to help with their technology industry. They can also do what the Netherlands is doing with their farming. There are countless different options than trying to promote people to put toxic substances in their bodies.

  3. Without a democracy, the interest of the subjects are not taken into account. Only the interests if whoever is in charge of the government is. Hence, no accountability for mistakes if it harms the citizens and no reason for leaders to have said interest in taking the subjects interest into account. Effectively being a different type of monarchy.

  4. @An Acc Exactly. If you have to turn to these substances, there is something wrong.

  5. Sea levels are rising globally. These are averages with variations. For dry weather that they have as an explanation, ocean currents and swells are affected by precipitation and wind patterns. Precipitation near coastlines doesn’t affect just the trees. It affects the marine life as well. You also have mangroves that grow farther in land with more fresh water sustaining brackish waters. Even sediment deposition can contribute with it even having built islands.

  10.  @michaelmcgarrity6987  You know about the drought in Texas right? That can actually make its way up to the Mid-west.

  12. Average sea levels and they fluctuate based on precipitation, wind patterns, and tides. A certain number of these mangroves could have also relied on some fresh water input from the local area to sustain the brackish water levels.

  13. No. This is the same type of summer seen in the Mediterranean region. That is due to warming of the atmosphere pushing the high pressure cells farther north than they are suppose to be. The tilt of the earth’s axis is not significant enough to have caused this and would affect climate anomalies around the world like California’s and Australia’s drought completely differently.

  14. Not exactly an option in said countries. Also, there are different types of Islam and interpretations which leads to entirely different practices.

  17. @Wolfie Street Technology isn’t produced by an economic system. By that reasoning, you would have to say communist satellites. Even if true, still wouldn’t be an argument.

  20. Not biology when you account for the fact that hormones taken after a certain amount of time remove and advantages from sex itself. Even if there were advantages, those would be things like height which would be a prompt for different divisions that already exist in other sports.

  21.  @klassiconetea9983  Hormones change muscle and do affect bones. It can even alter bone shape around the pelvis if it is administered early enough. Trans women are even warned about becoming weaker when they start hrt. For lung capacity, there is quite a bit of variability on this within the sexes even if assuming that they are different here. Though whether they are different or not isn't certain. For body sizes like height, everyone knows that and wasn't claimed such. For that, simply do what we already do and create different body class division on those like they have for wrestling. No. Hormones only change the voice and body hair for trans men. They don't affect those for trans women. No one claimed that anyone gets a uterus from hrt. Some claimed correlation with emotional cycles that could be linked to periods, but nothing else and that is largely anecdotal. Looks like you don't know what hormones change. Hormones change the muscle via weakening or strengthening depending on gender, certain aspects of the bones which are why many trans women have to go on iron or even end up having their bones changed around their hips if done early, breast growth if it is male to female, softening of skin if male to female, deepening of voice if female to male, body hair growth if female to male, hair line not receding if present in male to female, thinning of certain body hair possible in male to female, fat redistribution in both male to female and female to male to respective patterns to what they transition to, nipple development for male to female, thinning of skin if female to male, and possibly others I don't know of. So no. Not duh. You don't have as many answers as you think you do you simpleton. Maybe learn to take complexity and different outlooks rather than always picking what appears to be the simplest answer to everything. On top of that, you make claims of claims that were never even made like growing a uterus. No one ever claimed that and is why many trans women opt for sex reassignment surgery on that. Which even then, isn't there yet.

  22. Why does the fact that it is illegal immigrants even matter to you?

  23. They actually can’t claim that as if is actually the worst it has ever been. What they are going to argue is that all of this is natural and blame people for living in these places.

  24. Not just California. Washington is getting hit very hard and southern Alaska is having abnormal rain patterns. For the mid-west, not exactly doing the best with recent floods and that can be quite troubling if they take place at the Great Lakes. That can also affect the quality of the said water and result in situations like Flint Michigan water.

  25. No we haven’t always been very dry and we aren’t even that dry now. That water comes from heavy snowfall in the Sierra Nevada and heavy rains from actual rainforests in northern California. That is also how the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers and the San Francisco bay exist. We even had the largest freshwater lake west of the rockies here and even now, we have the second deepest lake in the whole country and one of the deepest in the world and one of the cleanest too. In fact, we have towns here that get more rainfall than anywhere east of the rockies with over 100 inches in some places. Crescent city gets more rain than Seattle and nearly ties with the average with New Orleans and still leads most cities. Prior to drought, more rain than all eastern cities and both counts not even accounting for heavy amounts of precipitation collected from dense fog. How do you even think we have the world’s tallest trees growing here for thousands of years? This is climate change.

  26. @Ray Maloney We redirected the colorado and accidentally created the Salton sea which originates from Colorado. We also created multiple aquifers as well. Specifically LA and San Diego area with their high dependency on external sources of water with only nearby sources of significant water being the nearby mountains from Lake Arrowhead to Lake Cuyamaca.

  27.  @aldeno8055  For one, only southern California can be considered part of the Southwest. Two, most water California uses doesn't even come from the Colorado. San Francisco especially as all if it comes from the Sierra snowmelt and rainfall in the reservoirs along the coastal forests and mountains.

  35. Because it is who does it. Generally, the eastern block militaries like Iran are the ones behind the killings. The Israeli military doing this is a huge outlier and shows some areas of corruption within the western sphere if influence. There us also probability that this could be a hate motivated attack as Israel has very heavy anti-Palestinian sentiment.

  36. @Healing and Growth -INFP Even if you were right, using God is not a justification. This is a secular country. God is not a justification for any laws that is to be made and is unconstitutional. Two, you fail to even define a life. What about the millions of sperm a man waste in ejaculating into a vagina? Would that make him a murderer? Three, assuming they are a person, what right do you have to force a woman to carry a baby? You can’t find a way to remove the fetus and carry it yourself to term? Four, biologically speaking on what defines a sentient person, you are forcing a woman to create a child. The child isn’t formed at conception. It is formed much later. Five, you also didn’t count rape, incest, unviable fetuses, and miscarriages. Six, keep your religion out of the laws. You have absolutely no right to enforce it on anyone. I doubt you would like it if we lived under Sharia law. Seven, a blessing to have a child you never even wanted. Especially rape babies that can also serve as a type of reminder of said trauma. That is not a blessing. That is lifelong torture.

  37. Bonus, God actually did an abortion in the bible to a woman who was cheating on her husband. So even in the context of religion here, you are still wrong.

  38. Multiple places are. There are different climates all over the world that will be affected differently. In California which is experiencing a very hard drought even extending into winter, there are now more thunderstorms during the summer now. The reason for this is because the warm anti-cyclones are going much farther north than they use to which affects temperatures and precipitation. That influences the entire world’s weather in both hemispheres and causes places like Kentucky to be unusually warm and result in more storm systems to be produced and reach the state. Kentucky is affected by this.

  41.  @venlafaxinedomperidone8377  Too much equality is literally impossible as that would just mean absolute equality which everyone should want.

  42.  @venlafaxinedomperidone8377  No. Women should choose what they want to do. Also, those things considered womanly are made up as people decided they would be considered such. I would never date a woman who acts like that. I would hate to live with a woman like that honestly. What about me? For women not equal, in what way?

  43. Why does that even matter? You have no business in what people do with their genitals. The fetus isn’t even a formed person yet. By same reasoning, I kill millions of babies all the time. Even then, you are forcing women to be living incubators against their own will over sex. If you are to treat said fetus as a person, what would be most fair is if you had a way of keeping the fetus developing outside of the woman’s body. For the doctors, they didn’t go through a decade of medical training solely for money. Especially with it being one of the most stressful jobs you can ever work. That remark is a baseless assumption off of income alone and the countless other factors that come into play in picking a career path. Even if it were said doctors motive, it wouldn’t actually matter as at the end of the day, they would still be doing their job. They would still be following all the ethics and protocols that they are to follow required in maintaining the validity of their medical licenses. The doctor who was caught promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy years ago didn’t exactly come out well with the medical community.

  44. Lastly, assuming your ethics here, why foes the majority of these abortions being what you claim matter? You are screwing over teenage girls and vulnerable women here. Even pro-life women who have miscarriages.

  49. You should have explained the science in the drop of the sea levels there better. A lot of people here are left confused as it sounds contradictors to the trend of climate change causing rise in sea levels.

  50. Brazil is ruled by a Trumper. I doubt the socialists are fond of him. For growth, it is more external investment which has also given Chile greater than usual inequality. Argentina is nearly the same living standard and has less in-equality than Chile.

  51. Except it isn’t fair to trans women. They have no proven advantage due to their birth sex once they take hormones after a certain amount of time. Boycott women’s sports.

  52. Boohoo! How terrible. You didn’t have to mask, did you? That would be so terrible. More important than Congolese boys being forced to rape and eat their mothers.

  53. Different weather systems. South Korea has monsoonal moisture influence while the UK gets rain from systems that produce rain in colder climates.

  57. Current records. Then evidence of such doesn’t have the details of said droughts and the droughts of those times were completely different.

  59. And I stop watching women’s sports and encourage others to do so. This action denies the science behind transgenderism and fails to account for various other factors at play that other athletes have like women with internal testicles and androgynism.
