> It's like this in a lot of places now. We're seeing climate change in the interval of a generation. It's absolutely scary. I have lived in the same place my whole life. The weather and seasons are effectively the same, from the day i was born until now. Both observationally and by way of looking at average daily temperatures. | ||

Your anecdote may be true, but doesn't hold at a global scale, and science is not on your side: https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/evidence/ I can't believe I'm debating climate change on HackerNews. What happened here? | ||

Where I currently live has about the same climate as it did 20 years ago. More variability, I think (people started complaining about weird harvest times about 10 years ago, and we're now all used to chaotic year-on-year yields), but roughly the same averages. Flood infrastructure needs maintenance, but not a redesign. However, the behaviour of the migratory wildlife has changed, and you only have to travel a few dozen miles before you reach somewhere that has needed to make significant changes to their traditional climate-related infrastructure. "A lot" doesn't mean all, and "my home isn't an example!" doesn't disprove the claim. | ||
