    The rapidly evolving global climate is making droughts occur more often, or to happen in unusual places, like, perhaps, this one, or the one in Taiwan.

    There is a sad irony in my learning this from Aljazeera, a media group that was founded thanks to petroleum riches, and also in my reading this on the internet, seeing how the current drought in Taiwan hampers the manufacturing of semiconductors critical to the maintenance of the material infrastructure of the internet.

    Also, this dispensable comment has a non-null carbon footprint, of which I should be ashamed.
