8 years ago the spring weather was different. It drizzled almost every day. It was cloudy. Now we have these clear sunny days, big winds and scant rain.
I was blown away when my die-hard Republican boomer dad said he thinks climate change is real. There’s a pond behind our house, and he can remember how big it used to get in the rainy season and how small it used to get in the dry season. Now, during the rainy season it comes up to the backdoor, and during the dry season it’s not there at all. If he can still trust his own eyes over what the TV tells him to think, maybe there’s still some hope for the world.

Yeah it’s called climate change and we’ve known about it for decades but the internet ruined things.

More weather events. Storms are worse, what used to be the storm of a few years now seems to come every few months.

Yes. But the internet gives idiots a huge microphone to spread their idiotness to other idiots. And false information can also spread like a wild fire on the internet.
