Climate change is contributing to drought in the American West even without rainfall deficits, scientists find
https://phys.org/news/2024-11-climate-contributing-drought-american-west.html
> Higher temperatures caused by anthropogenic climate change made an ordinary drought into an exceptional drought that parched the American West from 2020–2022. A study by UCLA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration climate scientists has found that evaporation accounted for 61% of the drought's severity, while reduced precipitation only accounted for 39%. The research found that evaporative demand has played a bigger role than reduced precipitation in droughts since 2000, which suggests droughts will become more severe as the climate warms.

Yeah right... Wearing masks outside, where it's well ventilated is quite useless. No, this is clearly done to hide one's identity! If people really want to wear a mask to prevent #COVID and not hide their identity, then they can e.g. wear a QR-code for easy identification.
