    Snowpack in my areas mountains is down to like 20% of normal, aka it’s completely fucking gone in mid March. This year is gonna suck.

      If we’re lucky, we could get one of those city-leveling hurricanes to make up the difference.

    I shudder to think of the impact this could have on plants and animals. We have already seen horrifying mass environmental death in the oceans (see: coral bleaching) and other crazy biological imbalances like red tides. Soon we are going to be experiencing similar insanity everywhere. Not just the ocean, not just that other part of the world that you yourself don’t live in - everywhere.

    Enjoy these headlines while they last. As soon as Bari Weiss is in charge, it’s going to be all “Woke Environmentalists Ignore Coldest March in months”
