I agree. The alarm has been sounding loud and clear my entire life...
I've been aware of it since the 1980s, and no one in their right mind can miss the dramatic changes that are happening. Every summer now, the air is brown and smells of smoke, and we fear for where the fires will go. It's no longer a season to look forward to. How can people not be distressed by their world literally burning around them? I always thought that the deniers would melt away when the effects became unmistakable, but instead they seem to retreat further and further into a posture of aggressive denial.
I live in Alberta and normally there would snow and winter conditions.
Currently feels like mid-October, not late November. Precipitation seems almost nonexistent.
If things don't change soon I can't imagine we get too far into late Spring before the wildfires start.
I've lived here about seven years and the change has been dramatic.
