Kent Pitman<p>This is an interesting article, worth a full read, on an aspect of Climate not always talked about in much detail.</p><p>«… The drying out of soil “increases the severity and frequency” of major droughts …, explains Dr Benjamin Cook, an … Earth system scientist … “Droughts are one of the most impactful, expensive natural hazards out there, because they are typically persistent and long lasting. Everything needs water – ecosystems need water, agriculture needs water. People need water. If you don’t have enough water – you’re in trouble.” … The study points to two factors driving gradual depletion of soil moisture over the last quarter century: fluctuations to rainfall patterns and increasing “evaporative demand”. … the atmosphere’s “thirst” for water …»</p><p>When I read about these things, I think of the danger to the food system and human society. It saddens me beyond measure that we've got a society run by capitalists who, like locusts, just want to efficiently consume every last resource the planet has to offer with no apparent regard for the future.</p><p>The article also mentions it will be expensive, though. Does that matter to any of you capitalists? I know risk of societal collapse is not a worthy concern to you, just something to monetize. But it could affect prices along the way. Is THAT perhaps a concern, at least? Sigh. </p><p><a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/global-soil-moisture-in-permanent-decline-due-to-climate-change/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">carbonbrief.org/global-soil-mo</span><span class="invisible">isture-in-permanent-decline-due-to-climate-change/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>water</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/drought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drought</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soil</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/evaporation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evaporation</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EvaporativeDemand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EvaporativeDemand</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FoodSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSecurity</span></a></p>
