It’s such an odd winter so far this year. Here it is early January and we’ve had three warm days when the temps usually never get up past 10*F. The days are usually long and cold and freezing. Now we’re supposed to get rain. Rain? In early to mid January? That’s unheard of. Snow, yes. Rain, no. But I’ll take it over a blizzard or any type of severe snow storm.
Crazy weather. Here in Oz we had 37C temps the other day. Tomorrow’s meant to drop to 18C. 🤔

I think arguing climate change is a waste of time because there are too many ignorant people. I think a better argument is the necessity to leave the world a better place for our kids, grandkids, etc. I think that i a better argument.
