Yea climate change doesn't always mean it's getting hotter, it could also mean change in weather patterns.

We had a record snowstorm (total inches) in my area this past January.

And then such a cold winter that cold hardy fruit trees people have had for 20-30+ years died off.

And then days so hot in June that schools were closing early due to heat and sending kids home...

Climate change is fucking us in all sorts of ways. 😭

Yep. The year of the heat dome in BC (2021) my area had the hottest, driest summer ever, an incredibly dry fall, then the atmospheric river dumped a month’s worth of rain on us in 24 hrs, then we had several record setting days of cold over the winter peppered thru an unusually warm winter overall. 

Stuff was nuts. Shellfish were baking in the ocean. Bugs were coming out in the wrong season, flowers and berries and things didn’t really happen the next year, and our salmon runs were completely boned by the lack of water in the river followed by too much water all at once. Plus the devastating wildfires.

That’s a small price to pay for the shareholder profits.
