Climate@slrpnk.net•Wall Street firms are ditching climate coalitions. Do they matter? BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, is the latest financial firm to back out of a voluntary climate initiative it joined5·1 year agoWhen the tide rises, they should be drowned.

3·2 years agoNot everything is irrigated. They showed areas that are only fed by rainwater.
I think the point is that the soil was swept away and the ground is impermeable so any rainwater flows into the river or evaporates rather than supporting plant life or replenishing the groundwater.
