I live in South Texas and the last summer was the most brutal one I have ever experienced. I've never seen so many trees die and it was indeed quite depressing. I keep bees and worried about them as well, but do supply them with water and that seemed to get them through. I didn't need to listen any propaganda, I simply had to go outside and feel how hot it was or see all the death that drought brought.
Anecdotes aren't data, and one summer isn't climate. The climate warriors absolutely pounded that into my head for decades, but you experience a drought and the world is literally ending? C'mon
Maybe the world IS ending, but anecdotes and single summers are not valid talking points
I did not say the world is literally ending, I said that it is depressing to watch so much death. How much death do I need to see before it goes from anecdote to data? Does it matter that it was also, by a significant margin and unexpectedly, the hottest year on record for the entire world?[0]
That’s a far cry from “there won’t be much left other than us and our farm animals.”
Or the belief that the earth is better off without us. I’d argue intelligent life is worth it if the cost is having no more polar bears. (Obv it’s better to have both and they’re not mutually exclusive, just making the point.)
Earth is just a big rock floating in space and full of bugs without us.
US Midwest is being hit by a 'weaker' Jetstream, that allows more cold arctic air in the winters. So winters are getting colder even while the summer is hotter.
It is called Climate "Change". It is a giant complex system, the effects are dynamic and to the random person walking outside can appear random, floods in the desert, moisture in different areas. Some areas getting dry, some wet, some hotter, some colder.
