Ok, so I keep getting gaslighted by people around me (USA) when I comment how crazy the weather is, and how we’ve never had it like this, and they say things like “oh, you just notice it more now because you’re older” or “the weathers always done this”

But I don’t think it’s normal for weather to be -10 degrees F with snow, and then 3 days later 75 degrees F! That seems insane to me!

Unless I’m wrong and we really have had this insane type of weather “forever”. But it doesn’t feel like it.

the Question: Am I crazy, or right, and is there proof?

      To me, “believing” in climate change is like “believing” in oxygen. I don’t feel the need to say I believe in it. That’s fascinating

        Magaland.

        All you’ll hear here on a cold day is “Ha global warming amiright!!?” I’m not joking either. Or they complain the democrats are cloud seeding to change weather for immigrants.

        I never knew I was surrounded by such dummies.

      Over here there’s plenty who believe in climate change, but they think it’s neat that we now have the climate in the Netherlands that Paris used to have in the eighties. There’s also plenty who insist that the climate has always changed while ignoring that we see changes occuring thousands of times faster than before. And there’s a group who’ll say sure, but it’s not something we can change, so no use trying.
