Diving subreddit has new mods who promise to put an end to the protest, commentors are not happy. Is this the end of SCUBA???

Yes. I have worked professionally in recreational diving as a certified divemaster, and have logged hundreds of dives. I don't even mean to put down the person in the article - I truly believe someone can be an avid diver even after their first dive. The way the entire sentence was worded made it sound pretty funny though, as if they were trying to impress with experience. At 21 dives, you're likely the one the divemaster is going to stick close to, and there's lots of things they're not going to take you close to.

We've already started this year off with crazy shit. What else do you guys think will happen this year and why?

This is the real scenario, right here. Everyone is so focused on increased disaster occurrences that it feels like this is invisible - until its not. Last summer Alberta was under drought conditions, and overall crop yields were 67% of the 5-yr average.

Less and less snowpack means less and less water to deal with worse and worse drought conditions.
