It really feels like a flip switched a few years ago. Weather feels completely different everywhere. And I grew up in a cold state and I could look forward to having a nice cold holiday when visiting family but it doesn't really even drop below 50 (10 C) anymore.
Warming oceans affecting currents and the reflective ice sheets disappearing leading to probable runaway temperatures after we hit a certain threshold have been being discussed for decades. In a couple years you're going to hear a lot of politicians and oil funded think-tanks saying "no one knew this could happen!!"
not if we kill them all right now
Maybe countries with nuclear capabilities will start threatening to nuke eachother if they don't follow climate agreements.
"This snow is beautiful! I'm glad global warming never happened."
"Actually, it did. But thank god nuclear winter cancelled it out."
tbh even a global nuclear hellstorm might be better than the future we're building right now
