I'm no scientologist but I think they ought to do zig zags... That's right zig zags... when the snow melts if it can't go straight down you make it zigzag. That's going to slow it quite a bit and I think it's going to fix your problem.

Alternatively... mountain freezers... snow can melt if you keep it frozen 🌬️

Explanation attempt : while the 20 first kilometers around Notre-Dame are uniformely urbanised, areas beyond are more rural with an agglomeration or two here and here. For instance the 50 km stratum could correspond to Mantes-la-Jolie, the 70km one could be Chartres or Compiègne.

Next to a Catholic church that covers up child molestation, thus the headline. Says nothing about city center and sheep as defined in the bible and quoted by Mr. Rogers on his death bed: "All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left” (Matthew 25:31-33).

Well considering how low some of your Reservoirs and lakes are I would be very surprised if for nothing else the engineers and officials in charge of water management don’t use all that flood water to fill them back up some. But hey hopefully this isn’t a one off thing and the drought breaks some what. At the very least this should give CA some breathing room to organize better water management practices for the future. Assuming the politicians have the balls and the foresight to go through with it regardless of the short term grumbling.

When is this data from? I would imagine the lead released from the devastating fire at Notre Dame a few years ago would have a negative effect on real estate values in the immediate vicinity. Lead toxicity is no joke and remediation is very costly and complicated.

Edit: research article on lead exposure: https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2020/07/09/lead-fallout-notre-dame-fire/

Yep and salaries aren't even high though to justify that. Even high skilled workers in IT etc can't afford these places!

It's also the byproduct of countries being much smaller. So lands are expensive in general especially in central/western European countries.

Buying a house like that you mentioned even outside of major German cities won't be much cheaper.

I hope so! I mean I’m definitely not rooting for the demise of CA, I like seeing them thrive economically and politically (even when it’s not all perfect).

My main concern is exactly that- I get have to basically be able to hold onto water for up to decades and it feels like no one in America, let alone California, is turning the boat fast enough to adjust our practices in the light of climate change.

My fear is all this freshwater just runs into the ocean and they’re in a severe drought again in 2-3 years, and this cycle keeps repeating…
