    It’s throwing the water cycle into chaos everywhere.

    Used to snow every year where I live (northern Italy) when I was a kid, haven’t seen snow for 10 years now. Our glaciers are dying, and soon the rivers will follow. Severe drought has already been a threat for the past few summers.

    People don’t notice because you can just buy more water bottles at the supermarket, but it’s clear that water will become scarce in the future. Hopefully I’ll be out of here before that happens.

    And “solutions” to climate change such as solar and wind farms that replace ecosystems with inert land will hinder hydrologic cycles.
