If you want solutions and do not deal with the ongoing effects of these dams in the subarctic ,and now by the way the discharges from the reservoirs never freeze all the way into the Hudson and James bays, EVERYTHING WE DO WILLL BE FOR NOTHING
"We scientists", you mean you are over 50 years oId? Water vapor effects just detected the Iast few years from NASA was never added to the equation. And the transformation of the subarctic from the many moving rivers to many seas-size impoundments, leaves a lot of unanswered questions pertaining to evaporation and IeveIs of water vapor, particularly extreme during the winter months, the onIy time large quantities of hydroelectric is generated. 40 F Waters discharged from dams meet severely Cold Arctic region temperatures
Thanks for this great compendium of action. It’s a refreshing palate cleanser from all the (justified) hand wringing about our climate, social justice, etc. I’m glad you included Miami’s plight here, and the threat of “climate gentrification” there. I highly recommend Jeff Goodell’s excellent book about Miami, “The Water Will Come,” as well as his recent one on heat.
Maybe I missed it, but if not, it is rather depressing to again see yet another massive misallocation of talent and time (not to mention all the CO2 produced by all the air travel such conferences produce, and money spent on Hotels that could be better spent in 50 other ways) away from the most important and urgent strategy to stop the fossil fuel and cattle industries from murdering the planet ---mass nonviolent resistance to stop fossil fuel infrastructure projects and shut down the meat industry.
I read recently that Putin took out a major Hydroelectric plant in the Ukraine with a cruise missile. Now that's an idea that would slow down Climate change.
Maybe we should consider taking out all the mega hydroelectric plants Putin had built to speed up heating the Siberian Arctic and A Ocean from all the hypoliminal water discharges from the dams. Afterall wintertime when the rivers are supposed to be frozen they are now flowing from all the heated waters well below dam surfaces. Can you imagine rivers of the sub
arctic now flowing all thru the winter and little to no river flows all summer. This is the model of Hydro they employ

TiME to dig into the recent research on water vapor. We are ignoring a major GHG
We scientists did that 50 years ago. It's time to implement solutions now!
