They are reporting about floods again, like they happen anywhere every year. I noticed these patterns:
- it's the weather's fault
- we didn't see that coming
- it's climate change > we need to reduce CO2 emissions
- no real solutions proposed to mitigate floods
And then I remember another popular news item: drought.
- our water storages are depleting
- imposing water use restrictions on the population
- it's climate change > we need to reduce CO2 emissions
- let's build a super canal to fork off water from another place
- uhh, mAyBe if wE cuT dOWn 30% of tHe tReEs we cAn collEct moRe rAIn WAteR; those damn trees are totally stealing our water!
It's either too much water or too little. Oh no!
In both cases, there's not even the slightest talk in MM about reforestation efforts. Among a vast array of benefits they also could mitigate both of the aforementioned issues: floods and droughts. Forests can be responsible for creating up to 2/3 of the inland rains. Yes, trees create rain through evapo-transpiration! They do that by slowing down the rain water and storing it within the soil, the pump it back up through their natural processes.
