Summer's have become consistently hotter to the point that there are weeks where you don't even want to go outside. It's becoming a season to be endured, not enjoyed. Plants are blooming earlier, I even notice this when I'm traveling in Europe, gardens that were once gloriously in bloom in late May/early June are now looking tired by then. The relentless forest fires out west and the hurricanes and tropical storms in the east. Yes, we've always had forest fires and hurricanes, but not as many and not for so long. I haven't used my heavy winter coat much if at all over the past decade. The weather is clearly becoming more extreme, not only around virtually all of the U.S., but also in western Europe. Plus, the melting ice in the polar region and the rising sea level. When I was a child I thought it would be wonderful to have beach front property, now I wouldn't dream of it because it could be gone in a year or two.
