Climate warming turns continental interiors into dry kindling, water cycle replaced by vast storm rivers of flash floods that wash away immediayely, also taking topsoil to the ocean, so how dp you keep water in drying interiors?

Millions of beavers trapping water in millions of mini-dams that keep water in continental interiors.

Beavers are central to clmate protection.

#Humans Have Shifted #Earth's Rotation, #Scientists Discover. Here's How.
According to a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters, humans have pulled Earth’s poles slightly off-kilter by building huge #dams. The results shed light on how future forces like ice melt, sea level rise, and continued #dam construction might shape our planet’s rotation.

Humans Have Shifted Earth's Rotation, Scientists Discover. Here's How.

Over the past few centuries, dams have pulled the poles a few feet off of Earth’s rotational axis.

‘Water For Life, Not For Death’: Liberatory Politics Against Imperialism’s Violence · BG · berlinergazette.de · EN|DE

Water allows life. However, it can also bring death in the form of floods and dams. The Movement of People Affected by Dams challenges the dominance of transnational corporations by exposing how water is used as a tool of imperial violence. Moreover, as Caitlin Schroering argues in her contribution to the “Pluriverse of Peace” series, their struggles are guided by a prefigurative politics that fosters solidarity practices providing the basis for a better world.
