So sorry for this, but, I'm kinda liking this global warming stuff.......

1. We'll ask you again in another 15 years how you like it.

I honestly believe in another 15-25 years we're going to be stunned at the changes on our planet. We're going to kick ourselves that we were so cavalier about climate change. Future generations are not going to look kindly on us.

3. I know, was really being kinda snarky, and you are right.

6. I know you were being snarky & I used to do it too.

Our winters have been mild for quite a few years, now, & I've made similar comments. But last year on Dec 30 I woke up to a mild winter day with horrific wind. A few hours later I could tell there was a fire somewhere by the orange glow in the sky. By evening, 1,084 homes had burned down to the ground. Our area hadn't had any significant moisture since July & the fire started on an open prairie that was crispy dry. I live about 5 miles away & was never at risk, but the impact on our community has been lasting.

2. I'm sitting outside in southern New York without a coat.

When I was a child around here, we'd be skating on the frozen river starting around now. The river hasn't frozen in 40 years.

I hate it.

4. I just am so afraid of falling on the snow and ice. Hate winter and can't move any place warmer.

8. I live in Chester, NY.

We had 6 straight days of 70 degree weather in early November, followed by two days of 69.6 degree weather.
We harvested tomatoes in late October!
Back in the 80's, my wife and I lived in the Haverstraw area. I remember 1 year where the Hudson froze over. They needed to use icebreakers to bring oil deliveries up to the Stony Point power plant.

No longer a problem.

9. I remember that!

5. Driving home from a vacation in Canada makes me feel the same

Shoveling snow off my car, needing chains to get to the main roads makes me sometimes think “Can we just hurry up the climate catastrophe and the death already?!”


(I too am kidding and don’t really want that.)

7. I know that is an off-hand comment, but worsening draught scares the living

sh..t out of me, living as I do in the West. Nowhere from California to the Mississippi River (which is running out of water as well, mind you) is free of wildfire or at least grassfire threats--as the recent Marshall fire and its loss of 1000 homes near Boulder underscored so well.

10. I hear you

with that. NE Kansas with nothing but hills and prairie for miles 10 minutes West of my house you see nothing but cows, grass and some nice Flint Hills but it goes all the way into your state and way beyond. I have not been close to a wildfire yet but the time is coming. Thankfully I have a large pond for my horses to seek if they don't run and my neighbors can bring their longhorns over. Still, I am terrified of fire. The water situation is amazing, amazing that we are so damned greedy we could not stop this.
