World not ready to ‘switch off’ fossil fuels, UAE says - (May 2023)
Mother nature is planning to switch off Dubai it seems.
Funny thing about that, wider variability is what we can expect in the weather. So watch now as they don't get any rain at all for the next two years. I keep a garden, and have a Stratus rain gauge. Last year we were darned close to the historic average, of 12 inches precip. The year before it was 15, well above. The two years prior it was 6 inches each, half the historic average. smh. There's only so much adaptation we can manage.
And, I wonder if this will convince petrostates that maybe they should do something about this.
