I have photos from 13 years ago of plants in bloom in winter.

It’s fine the icy arctic blast will remind them this week.

And yet we will hear the media saying that we can’t do anything about the climate because it’s bad for business.

And yet net zero is woke nonsense and we should be burning as much has as we can?
Honestly we don’t deserve to avoid climate catastrophe

There’s literally been visible signs for years.
The grass has been growing all winter long for a couple years now, cows go in barns mid December instead of end of October, we don’t have full seasons but mini weather changes.
The writings on the wall.
Climate change isn’t some far off danger, it’s here and it’s now.

My rosemary and lavender are blooming right now. It’s mental

There are lots of little things that I have started to pick up on. Just yesterday I popped round to a friends to be greeted with a box of eggs, they don’t light or heat their hen house so in previous years the hens just stop laying over winter.
Until this year when the hens just haven’t stopped.

In good news China I the last month alone installed more solar production capacity than the entirety of Australia’s solar panel installations.
In one month!

Daffodils were out in Hove Park last week in a number of sheltered spots.

We have daffodils, crocus, buttercups and gorse flowering round us.

Been seeing it for years. Especially in the insect population. 25 – 30 years ago if you went near a bin anywhere during the summer you would get mobbed by a crowd of wasps. Now I rarely see a wasp at all, can’t remember the last time I saw a honey bee. Same with birds. When I was a kid the moment we had finished in the playground it would be swarmed by hundreds of sparrows and during the autumn you would see massive flocks of migrating birds. That’s all gone as well.

It’s genuinely unsettling how normal this is starting to feel. You see it in the garden and on the farms, a constant, quiet shift instead of a proper winter. The disconnect between these obvious signs and the political inaction is the most frustrating part.

Im a gardener/handyman/whatever. But i spend 40 hours a week, outside looking at plants and whatnot.
Theyre onlyntheir 3rd or 4th bloom this year
We csn all argue about the reason for climate change if you like.
But its happening whether people think its on its own or being sped up by us.
Its happening

5 more years and we can start blaming each other for building flood defences and drought mitigation and other adaptation projects back in 2026…

All the birds that migrated came home yesterday, literally hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese flying above my house. Was so loud I wondered what the noise was.
Feels like the months all got out of sync the last 40 years.

I’m still only at jumper threat level. Apart from rain I have had no need to wear a coat. I think I saw some frost today and that’s about the only way I would recognise that it’s winter at all

It’s winter and it’s really cold right now, so I ain’t having the global warming lie.

“disrupting the normal world” the mistake climate doomists make is assuming the world of their childhood was the static “normal” world
Plants blooming in winter is a sign they are adapting to changing conditions. Something to be welcomed.

But I was told that paper straws were going to bring us from the brink of extinction… /s
Not even lamenting it as part of the solution. I’m happy to do my bit, but as a world we are run by the whims of an unchecked billionaire class, so obsessed with that little wiggly profit line they’d literally put the world to torch just to make it go up. Must be nearing our doomsday point any day now

I don’t care anymore. Nothing’s ever going to be done. Nobody who can do anything about it wants to do anything about it. At this point I’m just living off my savings with the expectation that I won’t make it to the end of the year.

Yeah we have our snowdrops out already. Quite concerning sign.

Vote Reform and you won’t have to worry about the climate much longer.
There won’t be one to worry about
