På sina resor han förnam,
hur väl försynens nåd reglerat,
som floder överallt placerat
där stora städer stryka fram.

From the Rhine to the Tigris
Global warming disturbs the jet and gulf streams that used to reliably circulate our atmosphere and oceans.
Lake Mead — where the Hoover Dam blocks whatever remains of the Colorado River — is drying into a puddle and displaying everything from sunken boats to dead bodies.
As these rivers, from the Yangtze to the Colorado, slowly evaporate — their water molecules destined to inundate islets or coastlines elsewhere in the world — the emphasis among scientists and policymakers is shifting to “adaptation.”
We’ll certainly need a lot of that.
