Picture: North Atlantic Sea Surface Temp. Anomaly
Soil's dry as a bone. Largest wildfire in recorded history going on. No pollinators.
Love the inclusion of the graph!
This isn't a sign of collapse per se, but god do I feel separate from the people around me. How can it all be business as usual? How come no one's paying attention? It's unnerving.
And even trying to talk about it isn't quite taboo, it's more like fatigue. They can't handle thinking about so they just go about business as usual.
Man every time I’ve seen that curve of this years North Atlantic sea surface temperature the past couple of months it just get crazier. I wonder if we’ll look back someday and see this as the “tipping point”.
You can't outrun the hockey stick!
Locally, tomato prices should go down currently, it is the season! they should be cheap and available. Their price doubled within one weak due to out of season weather events.
I think the trees outside my window are starting to die, but I am not sure, as I am unfamiliar with their species. I am new in the area, they did not look that bad last year nor the year before.
Seattle reporting in. It has been cooler than normal and much wetter than the past few years. I commented on this to my wife, who said "it's like how Seattle springs used to be!"
Yes... which is why it is kind of strange. Especially when I'm reading about other places that are on fire, breaking record temperatures, and extremely dry. I have no doubt it won't last. We'll soon be hotter than normal, choked with wildfire smoke, and praying for rain.
We had a huge fire eighteen months ago that ripped through my suburban town and took 1,000 homes. One of the causes? A super-wet spring followed by a dry summer.
Give you two guesses as to what kind of spring we're having. Everything scares me.
Reporting from southern US. Haven't noticed anything exceptional. It's been raining here for a bit, and it's always pretty hot when it's not raining, in the summer.
