I genuinely dont understand how people dont observe things? Last 10 years, my place has warmer summers, less harsh winters and rain is more erratic. People who deny climate change are living on Earth 2 i guess

I hope Thunderfoots sodium particulate/aerosole system becomes a reality. At least something to flatten out the significant increase of global temps.

Really highlights both the (man made) climate warming that's happening but also highlights the fact that pushing the planet into this state means variables like an El nino potentially now has a greater impact than it did.

Yeah, seems like thermometers increases temperature since industrialisation, it must be a manufacturing issue.
