#2The pictorial had me for a minute. Deeper red means closer to full which is a positive thing.

I abhor this kind of language that news sites use. It takes away from the seriousness of the underlying cause (and its effects), and associates hot/warm weather with "good". Public apathy towards climate change starts here.

Well, the economic aspect of things is essential just as physical constrains. You can't wish away certain things like availability of other resources, or people behaving responsibly with no economic incentive.
Talking about water reserves. I actually have my own well that I went through the approval and build process about a decade ago(in EU). I had to declare "maximum consumption per day".
So my point is, there is some (at least theoretical) conservation of groundwater resources. However there is no real way to check factual use for which I don't think there is an acceptable solution.

I did enjoy the warm and sunny october.
Would anything have been any better, if I felt miserable about things, I cannot really change?

That's true.. but on the other hand: I'm fully aware of the climate crisis .. still the weather for the individual here was pure enjoyment.. it is not so much of a news language thing here, but even climate activists enjoyed the weather?

I don’t enjoy warm autumn weather because The Economist tells me to. I don’t think avoiding talking about the weather like a human is necessary or helpful for dealing with climate change. But perhaps part of this is that I generally don’t believe that fixing climate change has much to do with terrifying the public about it.
Furthermore, it’s generally untrue that any particular warm October is due to climate change but rather the average October temperature over many years.
