Not our problem. Our problem is people dying of fentanyl on our streets.

Global droughts are often an indication that water is being locked up in the poles as ice and snow, leaving the rest of the world drier. Cold temperatures cause drought. But perhaps Global Warming causes cold temperatures.

Similar to game wardens shooting poachers, we should start killing drug dealers.
Especially the cartels in Mexico.

They are blaming it on Climate Change.

Another money grab.

Heartbreaking. Elephants are the nicest creatures in the jungle often helping out other animals in distress. They are also friendly to humans.

A few years ago we got a chance to talk to our guide while taking the long ride from Nairobi to Amboselli National Park. We got to talking about poachers...a huge problem for African parks...and he said that the Kenyan Government's position on poachers was "shoot to kill".They don't try to arrest them...or disarm them.

Given how important tourism is to many African nations I can understand that. No elephants + no rhinos = no tourists.

There is no amount of money and control that will appease governments.

The idea that man can control the global climate is insane.
Intelligent people know this. Powerful just use the retards for control & money.

Drought is the result of weather, short term events, not climate, long term weather patterns.

That's not always true.Do some research and you'll find that when females are protecting their young or when bulls are in mustah (? spelling) they can be distinctly unfriendly. There are many videos on youtube showing both scenarios.

Stupid premise. Conservation efforts like paid safaris help the animals and the tribal people of Africa.

Every elephant centric wildlife documentary since forever has shown weak animals dying of thirst, malnutrition, abandonment, and being eaten by hungry predators. This is the way it works for every animal in the wild.

Drought attributed to el Niño, which has nothing to do with climate. but then, “climate change will make this the new normal.”

Animals people can own often thrive. Animals only the government can own always seem to be endangered.

As if they couldn’t transport the animals to a park with more water. The British royals are so enamored of Africa so could have helped.

Its really sad but likely there are too many elephants for the area to support.
