Well, Brazil's in the process of building the Belo Monte Dam in the Rainforest...which will open the gates to them building 60 more dams.

China's 'Three Gorges' Dam, the largest in the world, is causing serious environmental problems, so they just admitted, finally, in May this year...but China wants other countries to dam, dam, and dam again, so they can take the power...

Cool, huh? Well, hot..to be honest, but........

Meanwhile, the frackers are blasting 3 to 4 million gallons of water into each well...and most of that water is never seen again.

We're in Hot Shite, basically..so order up the air conditioners, plant the trees and find your own water supply pretty darn fast...

Failing that, contact the Brazilian Embassy in your neck of the woods and ask them what the hell they're doing to The Rainforest and the climate...

I hope it rains for all your folks, really soon, buckets and buckets of the wondrous stuff, with many cool breezes thrown in. I'm with gnu, I can't even imagine that kind of heat.

It's dry here, ground is very hard, but it's bearable..in fact, it's been pretty cold for the time of year these past weeks.
