I am originally from one of the rainiest regions in my middle european country and the last 2-3 years have been a wakeup call for me. I have never seen so many dead and dry trees in the forest. The vast majority of spruces are dead and deciduous trees suffer as well. Streams and water reservoirs that I’ve never seen dry before have been completely empty. And lastly, we even had the largest forest fire that my area has seen in many years in fucking APRIL of this year. I am afraid of what is to come.
What are your experiences with changing climate in your region and how do people react to it?
I live on the east coast of the US and it seems as time goes on there is less gradual snow and rain (like every day) and more snow/rain storms (in bursts). We just had our first snowfall of barely anything 1 day ago and tomorrow there is going to be a snowstorm with more than a foot of snow T_T

Also, yes, this is in fact from the effects of global warmings.

This makes me sad. I kind of want to experience having that much snow.

It’s very dry here too. I don’t mow the lawn much anymore through summer. Only when there’s maybe a few weeks span when there’s some rain in the forecast.
I remembered there used to be frogs around here. One of the neighbour kids when I was young used to play with them. I could spot some in the yard all the time. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen one as an adult. Maybe that has something to do with clime change or maybe not.
Vancouver, BC, Canada: Warmer winters and hotter, dryer summers with frequent droughts, more sporadic weather in general, and more forest fires and smoke in the summer and autumn, both from BC and elsewhere. Overall not a good time.
100F/37C or more degree weather. Good god, is it hot in Southern US.
