RE: https://mastodon.social/@jonesmurphy/116800274284509376 If we have learned one thing about Trump’s base, it should be to not confuse attitudes expressed in approval ratings with any potential change in their voting patterns. Millions of Trump voters openly disapproved of his performance and […]

My neighbour and I were talking about the tough water restrictions in place this summer here in Vancouver due to low snowpack in the mountains (due to climate change) etc…on the coast, in a temperate rainforest! The punchline was the water-sucking, ghg-emitting DATA CENTRES being proposed here!
