The bad thing is is that it’s too late. From this point forward it’s about adapting where we can.

This is the downside of climate change deniers and the inability of humans to recognize existential threats. Climate change and global warming was never about it just getting hot and that’s it. It is about extreme weather popping up more and more frequently.

In my location, we had a weird winter. The snowfall was above average but it only snowed on like three or four separate days. This summer has seen a heat wave and serious drought. When it rains, again only one like three days all summer, it’s for like 10 minutes. We actually just had a major storm, and it rained violently for about 5-10 minutes. That does little to get the ground soaked again. Even the ferns are dying, which are typically robust.
