my highscool was sinking into the ground liek an inch or 2 every year

if its not refilling these aquifers than its going somewhere.. lakes or the ocean. If 2/3rds of the surface area is ocean it would make sense that most of it is making its way to the oceans either from rain or lakes / rivers running into the ocean.

It is really interesting / annoying how CA seems to lead the entire environmental movement by the nose

Lots of activism around water conservation, which just isn't a big deal on the east coast

yeah in CA it must be really bad lol

Earth is 70% water but only 3% is freash, the water is freash water and most cities send rain water runoff to the ocean.

all those rich ppl watering theri lawns

@woodchuck00 only about 1% of that freshwater is accesible

YEET GREAT LAKES

i thought rich cali peeps were painting their dead grass green 😛

Also a week from now I'll be able to call my self an environmental scientist

a shitty low level one

but still one

hi hi

When I lived in CA last year we had a bunch of rain, GOV said drought is over, stop money for repairing and expanding water storage, the groundwater is almost gone, the states sends the overcapacity of water to the ocean.

@woodchuck00 Rather a lot of my training is in forestry, so when Trump's fire managment tweet went out I got into a lot of fights on reddit

I was unaware it was controversial that CA's bad fire management in the 50s-70s is the roots of most of their issues with fire

@H3llbender Trump is missing alot of key information but the forests could be better manged, even Jerry Brownm wantyed to bring logging industry back to aid with fire managment.

hey who was the guy that Tim referenced in the live stream he did?

luke grekowski? I can't find him

as a good news guy

Loggers have no interest in the parts that are at issue @woodchuck00

I mean, it might get in the way of going for the trees

but the scrub and small trees on the forest floor aren't really viable for harvest

You may know better then me but the forest in CA need fire to help the trees grow, thats how they evolved, but CA has been preventing the fires so burnable material builds up

CA has put themselves in a giant firey catch-22

Logging companies build service roads that act as prebuild fire lines whitch helpds firefighters.

They *can't* do controlled burns because the controlled burns run too hot now that it will actually kill the trees that would stand to benefir

They *can't* leave it alone because it is a giant tinderbox

80% of the firefighters out there are clearing brush by hand

and bulldozer

@Timcast I've moved my subscription over, thanks for setting up the option.

@H3llbender I wouln't want to remove debrea nest to an active fire

@woodchuck00 The only reason I wasn't out there in july is because I lack the certs to be out there

So I was part of my state forest service's skeleton crew

And it was like that for everywhere

they were pulling *prisoners* out to do brush clearing

Shit is ***bad***

@H3llbender This is part of CA's problem, FL Ocala National forest has roads to act as prebuilt fire lines, CA, Tahoe National forest doesn't.
