Hey man, I live on a small farm ~50km from the city, where we get to battle more and more wildfires every year, and it no longer rains enough to keep the water

Hey man, I live on a small farm ~50km from the city, where we get to battle more and more wildfires every year, and it no longer rains enough to keep the water supplies flowing all summer. Climate change is a bigger issue for a lot of of the world than your personal experience might suggest
- thrownthatway 5mo ago> and it no longer rains enough to keep the water supplies flowing all summer. It no longer rains enough? Are you a time traveller? Otherwise you can’t possibly know that. When it comes to climate and weather, no amount of recent past data can reliably predict what’s going to happen next.
- swiftcoder 5mo agoI know that in the last 5 years, we've had 3 major droughts, and in the preceding 50 years, no droughts. This is more than sufficient evidence for me. I'm not going to argue long-term weather cycles versus man-made climate change with you.
