These poor darkies never seem to get a break, do they?
After seizing control of South Africa from its original white owners, circumstances were finally looking up for black folk. They now reigned over a First World nation with advanced infrastructure, operational farms, established laws… the whole shebang.
Who or what could possibly prevent them from reaching the stars?
Well, Mother Nature, for one. A hardcore racist that hates blacks because of the color of their face, Mother Nature couldn’t tolerate the thought of blacks getting ahead in life, so she hit them where it hurts most: their water supply.
And some brave scientists, who risk being struck by lightning for their insolence, have exposed her hate crime for everyone to see.
Cape Town is in the grip of a drought widely regarded as the worst in recorded history – one that could see it become the first city in the world to run out of water.
The city is edging closer to a day – known locally as “Day Zero” – when supplies are so low authorities will have to cut off water to three quarters of the population.
Far from being a hypothetical scenario, Day Zero has a set date. It is currently expected on 9 July.
The perfect storm of conditions that led to this drought, specifically three consecutive years of extremely low rainfall, would generally be expected no more than once in a millennium.
Predicting such “freak” events is tricky for scientists, but one thing is clear: climate change appears to have played a significant role in the Cape’s current misfortune, and it is set to make such events far more likely in the years to come.
…
“The effects of global warming are now interwoven with this natural variability,” says Professor Mark New, a climate researcher at the University of Cape Town.
Climate change contributes to drought both by changing rain levels and temperature.
“Droughts are a natural phenomenon in the Western Cape and the effect of climate changes is that it magnifies all weather events – both drought and flooding – and makes them less easy to predict,” says Dr Piotr Wolski, a hydrologist in the climate system analysis group at the University of Cape Town.
While it is difficult to draw firm conclusions while the disaster is still ongoing, “tentative preliminary analysis” by Professor New suggests that the once-in-a-millennium dry spell Cape Town is currently experiencing was made five times more likely by global warming.
What this means is that the 1C rise in average temperature over the past century in the region has increased the likelihood of such an event fivefold, compared to a scenario in which this warming had not taken place.
Sad. So sad.
Under black control, South Africa was en route to become Wakanda 2.0: a sprawling, futuristic metropolis packed with opera houses, majestic skyscrapers and high-speed transit systems. Instead, it’s going to degenerate into a banana republic where blacks practice voodoo in huts made from animal dung.
Call me cynical, but I doubt this is the first time that the elements have conspired against colored people.
In the future, whenever you’re tempted to laugh at the plight of Somalia, Nigeria or all these other African countries, pause for a moment and think: are these countries poor and starving because blacks are stupid and lazy, or because Mother Nature keeps them down for being black?
