Here’s why Houston never turned on backup power generators at its water treatment plant
The city said power supply wasn't the issue, but rather offline transformers couldn't connect to any power source whatsoever.

As a safety engineer let me just say that a design where two transformers can go down and cut off access to power from both the primary AND backup is a failure.KHOU.com: Here’s why Houston never turned on backup power generators at its water treatment plant.

It’s 1 fault tolerant at best and possibly 0 fault tolerant if the same failure took down both transformers.
There’s no reason it shouldn’t be at 2 fault tolerant.
Yet another reason why I keep water and filters on hand.

Interested enough to search online? Because there are hundreds of studies looking at our current biodiversity crisis and the links to climate change. Here’s a recent one:
Impact of climate change on biodiversity loss: global evidence - Environmental Science and Pollution Research
The present study investigates the impact of climate change on biodiversity loss using global data consisting of 115 countries. In this study, we measure biodiversity loss using data on the total number of threatened species of amphibians, birds, fishes, mammals, mollusks, plants, and reptiles...

The abstract doesn't say much in terms of numerical impact of climate change on biodiversity. Don't have access to full article. Does it quantify impact of climate change on mass instinction and compare that to mass instinction being caused by habitat loss due to humans cornering every space on the planet?Interested enough to search online?

Instead of either/or, why not both?

Atlanta shooting part of alarming US crackdown on environmental defenders
Twenty states have enacted laws restricting rights to peaceful protest, as environmentalists are increasingly criminalized
Nineteen forest defenders have been charged with felonies under Georgia’s domestic terrorism laws since December. Authorities have detailed the alleged acts of so-called terror by nine of those facing charges, which include trespassing, constructing a campsite and sitting in the trees of the woodland, a 300-acre wedge of land that once contained a prison farm but is now one of the largest urban forests in the US. Brian Kemp, the Georgia governor who declared a state of emergency and mobilized 1,000 members of the national guard over the protests, has blamed “out-of-state rioters” and a “network of militant activists who have committed similar acts of domestic terrorism across the country” for the troubles.
The criminalization of land and water protectors and Indigenous nations using critical infrastructure security laws can be traced back to the Patriot Act. This has contributed to the current escalation as it allows the definition of terrorism to be more vague and expansive, which is intended to have a chilling effect on peaceful protesters,” said Kai Bosworth, author of Pipeline Populism and assistant professor of geography at Virginia Commonwealth University.
