Climate change isn’t happening in Eastern Pennsylvania.
How do you know? Show up and look around.
None of the forests are burning out of control and threatening neighborhoods. Farmers aren’t starving, nor have they had to adjust their crops or livestock. We haven’t had any “out of the ordinary” droughts, floods, or winter storms (every few years, we get a banger summer or winter storm or have a month or two of drought — as always). We don’t have a coastline, so nothing to see there.
So this climate change crisis is a hoax, right? A non-crisis marketing scam propagated by a particular tribe to instill fear, increase their control, and extract finances.
A big nothing-burger.
Maybe.
But before we jump to conclusions about climate change — or COVID, racism, MAGA, crime, academia, etc — based on personal experience alone, let’s remember it’s a big world out there.
We all have a story we tell ourselves. One of the biggest inputs to that story is your personal experience. Personal experience is always a valid input but doesn’t usually tell the whole story.
But if climate change is your biggest personal worry, maybe you should consider moving to Eastern Pennsylvania. There is no climate change here.
