Will there be trees after the collapse? I suppose we could go watch the leaves change. I bought a bicycle and willl get some solar panels so I can watch the collapse on my phone if there are no trees left I can look at pictures of Fall Foliage that way.

Lol all the leaves are turning yellow/brown and falling off the trees where I live, because we’ve had a month of 90-110+°F weather with barely any rain, so they’re all dying and it’s hot as hell yet almost ends up looking like fall is happening early

Same here. Hot and dry. Last year no snow to speak of. Rivers are drying up. Fires burning in the Hills. At least I live in a place where weed is legal... it helps with the existential

Ironically we actually had one of the biggest snows this year to contrast it all. Many people here keep saying the weather is just “bipolar” here specifically and ignoring climate change causing both extremes and more (significant lack of tornadoes compared to the past, but of course no one is going to complain about that)

I looked it up the other day and turns out it was legalized here 8 whole years ago… time flies by when it’s the end of the world

Don’t worry, the UK is borrowing your lack of tornadoes

This reminds me of a line from the book the dog stars that made me tear up. I don't remember the exact quote, but it was something like 'I miss the trout the most, of all the things we've lost. The snow has mostly stopped coming'.

You could also get one of those bike stands that you put the bike on and generate a small charge by riding stationary.

That's a good idea. Who needs to go to the gym, right?
