"Third graders at Public School 103 in the north Bronx sat on a rug last month while their teacher, Kristy Neumeister, led a book discussion.

The book, “Rain School,” is about children who live in a rural region of Chad, a country in central Africa. Every year, their school must be rebuilt because storms wash it away.

“And what’s causing all these rains and storms and floods?” asked Ms. Neumeister.

“Carbon,” said Aiden, a serious-looking 8-year-old."

BTW - Chad is only serviced by monsoons. No monsoon - no food. Which is more important? That's precisely why they build cheaply.

"From the devastating fire on Maui, to a rare California hurricane and Canadian wildfires causing dangerous air quality across the United States, the climate crisis is seemingly impacting North Americans more than ever in 2023. And while climate change policy currently rests with older generations, educating the youngest about climate change and paths to sustainability can pave the road to improvements in decades to come.

Teachers training

So the Maui fire - Caused by the power company not managing power lines.

The hurricane had dropped to tropical storm level by the time it hit California.

The Canadian fires were not caused by climate change, but litghtning and arson.

So much for teachers and knowledge and the lack of knowledge they impart.

"Here are our key preliminary findings, so far.

Global climate change is unlikely to be the reason for the lake’s variations. Lake Chad’s levels do not relate to global average temperatures in any model my team has tested. It’s often said that you can get statistics to say anything you want. In this case, no matter how one tries to torture the data, it’s not budging. It won’t let us attribute Lake Chad’s variations to global change indicators.

Irrigated agriculture, which is used by the millions of small-scale farmers in the regions around Lake Chad, does not seem to have any negative effect on the lake. The only substantial correlation we are finding is positive: a good rainfall year in Northeast Nigeria benefits the lake’s north side, and appears to benefit farmers living around 100 miles upstream.

True. There's been a population increase like no other in the history of the country Chad. Purely the demand from such is the number one cause. We can see how Farmers can drain waterways here in Australia in just a few months.

This 'over-population' is starting to annoy me.
As would it for anyone squeezed into an elevator with 20 others... then someone farts a nuke.
