The Climate Has Changed

I can remember back just a few short months ago. Our climate was in the lower 20s. Perfect for creatures adapted to the cold. Now it is in the upper 80s destroying the habitat of the cold climate creatures.

And if that is not enough to bother you, the climate is heating at an unprecedented rate. Normally climate scientists talk about changes of tenths of a degree in decades. Here we have something like 60 degrees change in six months. If the temperature keeps going up at its current rate we will all be boiled to death in less than two years.

We shoulda done something about it when we had a chance.

Brought to you by commenter papertiger who reminded me that I have been insufficiently diligent in providing climate porn. Is boiled to death in less than two years good enough for you?

Hey Simon.

When this abrupt climate change happens, where do all the snow angels go to hibernate?
I mean it's happened before, and yet they aren't extinct.

Anon.,

I take it you are unfamiliar with the concept: satire.
