Rolling Stone: The Point of No Return: Climate Change Nightmares Are Already Here

[ladyVet]

48. You want to hear something really weird?

We're having the first "normal" summer here in NC in years. It's hotter than it should be, but for the first time in at least five years it's not raining five days out of seven. We've had years of almost constant rain, while the weather doofus people act like it's perfectly normal.

Last year, I lost most of my garden, because it was always wet. We never had to water. Spring was late, with a late frost that killed the blossoms on my pear trees, and the early summer was extremely cool. It took forever before anything started growing, and then with the rain nothing ever got going like it should.

This year, my brother ended up planting what he wanted, because my seeds either didn't sprout or died, but things are going gangbusters.

I believe we're too late to do anything to stop climate change. If we acted now, everywhere on Earth, we might mitigate it somewhat, maybe even decades from now see it start back to a better condition. But I'm not holding my breath.

The people that want to destroy this planet amaze me. Where do they think they're going to live? Do they have no concerns at all about what faces their descendants? Maybe they know something we don't. Building arks to live in space like kings? An asteroid going to wipe us out? Except for the ones with huge underground bunkers?
