Mexico City if feeling the impact of Climate Change

from NYTimes, Feb 17, 2017 -  It is a cycle made worse by climate change. More heat and drought mean more evaporation and yet more demand for water, adding pressure to tap distant reservoirs at staggering costs or further drain underground aquifers and hasten the city’s collapse.

In the immense neighborhood of Iztapalapa — where nearly two million people live, many of them unable to count on water from their taps — a teenager was swallowed up where a crack in the brittle ground split open a street. Sidewalks resemble broken china, and 15 elementary schools have crumbled or caved in.

Much is being written about climate change and the impact of rising seas on waterfront populations. But coasts are not the only places affected. Mexico City — high in the mountains, in the center of the country — is a glaring example. The world has a lot invested in crowded capitals like this one, with vast numbers of people, huge economies and the stability of a hemisphere at risk.

Changing Climate, Changing Cities

The first in a series of articles about how climate change is challenging the world’s urban centers.

One study predicts that 10 percent of Mexicans ages 15 to 65 could eventually try to emigrate north as a result of rising temperatures, drought and floods, potentially scattering millions of people and heightening already extreme political tensions over immigration.

Poem

The World Is Too Much With Us

Related Poem Content Details

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

The world is too much with us; late and soon, 

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;— 

Little we see in Nature that is ours; 

We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! 

This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; 

The winds that will be howling at all hours, 

And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; 

For this, for everything, we are out of tune; 

It moves us not. Great God! I’d rather be 

A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; 

So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, 

Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; 

Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; 

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn.

Road Salt and Ohio's Tropical Sea

From PBS Newshour - July 23rd/.

"JUDY WOODRUFF: Now to our NewsHour Shares, something that caught our eye that might be of interest to you, too.

Every winter, millions of tons of salt are spread across the country’s roads and sidewalks. Much of it comes Ohio’s Whiskey Island Salt Mine.

Elizabeth Miller of WVIZ/PBS ideastream in Cleveland reports.

ELIZABETH MILLER: When old man winter rears his icy head, there’s one thing that keeps Ohio from becoming a virtual slip ‘n slide: salt. A natural deicer, over 17 million tons of rock salt was spread over roads and sidewalks in the United States during the particularly fierce winter of 2015.

But where does it all come from? The answer might surprise you.. "
