Not an increase in heat or storm, weather. All of it. Instead of weather, we now have WEATHER.

We had the coldest winter in 87 years last year. Power was out for several hours every day, non-stop 50 mph winds, snow everywhere, 0 degrees fahrenheit outside, and like 10% humidity. It sucked. I don’t want to experience that again.

Whether it’s cold or whether it’s hot, there will be weather, whether or not.

Increase? I feel like the entire planet is already witnessing this. Which country on what continent isn’t?

Some regions may see slower changes than others in the short term. Long term, all will be affected.

It’s wild… when I was young we had a lot of winters with ice skating and some winters with really thick ice. Now hardly any. On the other hand we now regularly have entire neighborhoods flooded with 10cm of water from local downpours. And summer heat waves lasting multiple days above 30C. Arid summers with week long water use restrictions. And this is all in a temperate country like the Netherlands.

And I hope it strengthens directly over the settlers and their spawn first. Give 'em a little bit of that Bushnell Special; rest in power to the martyrs.
