I know I've been making 'we are fucked' posts all winter whenever it crests 50 degrees but the amount of people who are under the impression that climate change just suddenly got 10000x worse from last year to this one is kind of worrying.

I mean I guess it's not a bad thing if it catalyzes increased public reckoning, but we're still going to see 'normal' winters happening throughout our lifetimes, we'll still see abnormally COLD and snowy winters, and that can't be mistaken for things suddenly getting 'better'. It's critically important to understand climate change as a shift in overall trends and not something accurately reflected by year to year variation

#This may be a small comfort but even in the unlikeliest absolute most We Are Fucked scenarios we're still going to see like...#Seasonal Variation. Temperatures below freezing. Etc #In the far more likely bad case scenarios you're still going to at least occasionally see winters as cold and snowy as you remember #for the rest of your life. (Broadly speaking though like maybe not universally due to varying geographic conditions)#No offense intended to the OP of that post btw it's just something I've been seeing a lot
