23. I look at the long trend

My brother in law was born and raised in Ok, in fact knows all the small towns in news reports last night. Like my mother in Mexco City, he can tell you how much this outbreak, and a few in the past are out of norm for what he remembers.

Mexico City's weather has become far more extreme. You used not to need a sweater 70 years ago, and the heat wave, there was one a year, lasted a week not two months.

Those are the trends we are talking of here.

Even San Diego over the two plus decades, the droughts have become deeper. (And this fire season is off to a wild start)

You are right that people conflate, but Katrina is an example of what we can expect more frequently in the future.



So instead of going my god ignorant fool, educate people.
