Jesus, the comments here are abysmal from what I can tell.

I'm no doomer, but we need to do something about this, even on the grassroots level.

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.

I went through a box of old family photos taken by my grandparents in the 60s and 70s. One of the most jarring things about them is how many outdoor pics have snow on the ground. I just assumed most of them were taken around December/Christmas, but then I see months like October or even April hand written on them.

I live in the same town those pictures were taken in and it hardly ever snows here anymore, save for a couple days January. It snowed literally once this past winter, and it wasn't even enough to justify bringing my snow blower out to clear the walks because it melted within hours.
