2024: When Climate Change Became Impossible to Ignore - owtelan - 11-05-2024
Hey everyone, had to share my thoughts on what's becoming increasingly obvious - our weather is seriously messed up. This isn't just about feeling hot anymore; we're witnessing history-making weather events almost weekly.
Last year was officially the hottest on record (again!), and 2024's already proving to be wild. Just look at what's happening: Argentina hit 113°F (45°C) this summer, Phoenix had that insane 31-day streak of 110°F+ temperatures, and don't even get me started on those floods in Dubai - who expected to see waterfalls cascading down skyscrapers in the desert?!
What's really hitting home for me is how these aren't just distant news stories anymore. My cousin in California dealt with those "atmospheric rivers" last month, while my friend in Australia can't stop talking about their increasingly intense bushfire seasons.
The scary part? Scientists are saying this is just the beginning. That whole "1.5°C target" from the Paris Agreement? We're probably going to blow past it within the next few years.
But here's what gives me hope - I'm seeing more local initiatives popping up everywhere. My city just announced a massive solar project, and EV adoption is skyrocketing.
Anyone else noticing crazy weather patterns in their area? What changes are you seeing locally?

I agree
