@vlrny@disabled.social I lived without a/c. I caught hundreds of grasshoppers and leaf-hoppers in my grandmothers grass, one at a time (and let them go again, of course). I never knew a place than flooded. I never knew a place that burned. I never knew a place that had a drought. Southern Ontario seemed somehow insulated from all of those extremes. When a tornado went through near Barrie, it was a big enough deal that they wrote books about it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the floods, the massive windstorms, the droughts... Mostly because I haven't experienced those yet *this* year. But hey, it's not even August yet. *laughsobs*

@vlrny@disabled.social I have been thinking that we are getting close to winter actually being more pleasant than summer which is a strange and slightly terrifying thought.

@vlrny@disabled.social I was thinking the same thing the other day! In Belgium, having a nice sunny day used to be my favourite. Whereas now, blue skies are to be taken with caution. So sad.

@vlrny@disabled.social Even down here on the east coast, and specifically our little sheltered and special climate zone we are now experiencing regular drought, high floods, forest fires, incect collapse, warmer winters, hotter summers. What is really alarming are all the days above 10°c in January and February. The best part? Our province is currently trying to build TWO LNG-burning power plants - both with us supply agreements. NB is already the largest polluter in atlantic canada.
