Only thing I could really point to is a number of incredibly mild winters a few years in a row. But even then, I was under the impression that climate change wasn't particularly measurable on a year-by-year scale. Maybe I'm wrong.
- Goronmon 9y agoJust because the individual changes aren't going to be noticeable year over year, doesn't mean the cumulative changes won't hit tipping points for noticeable effects to occur in certain cases. Just like people won't notice the sea levels changing each year. But at some point, flooding is going to go from a rare occurrence to a regular occurrence once the sea level raises past a certain point.
- saiya-jin 9y agoIn Europe, we're facing ridiculously hot summer back where I come from and very mild winters for a few years in a row. To give an example - parents have a small garden, living in the valley under mountains. Till about 2-3 years back it was impossible to plant outside twice a year like near mediterranean, it was simply too cold for too long. My 90 year old grandparents never ever could do that, now they can. We're facing bugs (ie ticks) which were never there before. Winters moved from +-4 months of solid snowy winter to few weeks of snow and a lot of cold rain. And of course glaciers are retreating at ridiculous rate, ie 10m/year.
