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?
you must live in a conservative place where climate change denial is a part of their cultural-political identity … it’s the exact opposite where I live - strangers I chat with in a waiting room will openly and proudly state they believe in climate change in the midst of an otherwise banal discussion of the weather.
Ive never heard an IRL person say they believe in climate change, ever.
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
Sure, do you say you believe in gravity? Do you believe in air even when you can’t see it? Do you say so?
Human-caused climate change has long since become an accepted fact. You accept reality or are some sort of insane person
Conversations are more likely to go like “can you believe it’s so readily apparent already?”
That’s crazy.
