The cohesion and adhesion of water necessitates that it has enough molecules to interact with each other. Any time water is divided, the forces that allow it to make things wet either have to be ignored or the water has to be separated enough that each part is no longer in contact with the other. So water either can't be touching itself because it's separate and can't make something it's not touching wet or it's still a singular conceptual entity doesn't change its own properties simply by existing.

Europe could become a desert and this would still be in the "news". Climate change is terrible at direct policy change motivation so far, it happens more indirect by deinfrastructuring and then people don't want to make the connection.

This is a combination of the oil lobby and car parts companies producing parts not needed for EVs. The later is already in a death spiral.

Welp, at least there will be a nice beach in Frankfurt. Hope it's not leading straight into a desert.
