We have had almost no snow in BC this year. Northern BC is in severe drought. There isn't even enough water to fill the recently completed highly controversial site C dam.
Basically that means we are going to have the worst fire season we've ever seen, sorry america but the smoke alone will ruin your summer too
Even fucking Haida Gwaii is seeing some mild level of drought right now. This shit ain't right
You should look at the winter that recently ended in the southern hemisphere - record ice shelf losses during winter, record high temps in Rio and other cities. In winter.
And it's just getting more and more brutal.
didnt it hit 90 or a 100 or something in Rio, during winter?

For their winter - on Aug 27, Rio witnessed its highest temperature of the winter, reaching 39.2°C

for winter, these temps are just bonkers.
Gosh dang it! In 2020 the fires turned our skies dark red, and there was ash falling from the sky. I don't want to relive that. I couldn't go outside for longer than about 2 minutes without getting a headache.
Drove through New York in June this year.
I think you drove through a dystopian movie set in NYC.
What’s the difference between reality and fiction?
Lack of flying cars and replicants.
Enjoyability
Great pic
I can't take credit. Stole this from a news article, but that's exactly my view when I was driving through there that day.
