    I’m 40+. I remember actual winters. With snow. Lots more snow than we’ve gotten in the last 20 years.

      Exactly! 46 here I remember when we had seasons, not fucking 80 degrees in November. I remember needing a jacket to go trick or treating during Halloween. It 75 degrees today where I live for high. This shit is real, and just go look at your rivers and lakes if you want to see the real effects of climate change as well.

        I grew up in Ohio in the '70s. The first snowfall was usually in late September. The ground was completely covered in snow in October and you didn’t see grass again until some time in April. The snow wasn’t completely gone until May and the giant mounds of plowed snow usually lasted into June. More than six months of serious Winter every year, nothing like that happening today.

      I’m just saying young people believe in climate science and apparently thats a hot take.

      30+

      just feels like a irrelevant detail and wants a fight. I remember white Christmases and brown ones. No need to minimize to my experiences because I haven’t lived 40+ winters, but know damn well 110⁰ summer days. I’m just bummed that because of greedy fucks my generation will be cooked to death before our best by date, fingers crossed we start world war 3 and nuked before that.
