The creek by where I live is literally bone dry and salmon have been trying to skip their way further upstream and just die because there is no where to go. It's just really sad and the ecological impacts are going to be massive. And my landlord still insists that I water her precious lawn every day. The forecast is calling for 27C over the weekend. As much as I like warm weather, it is really unsettling when the leaves are falling, the days are short, and the weather is still flirting with 30C temperatures.
I saw in the news that Alaska cancelled the crab harvesting this year for the first time ever. Apparently 1 million crabs just did not spawn this year, and of course climate change is the major suspect.

Yeah, there's been many saying this is the best summer in so long in Calgary, but you need the rain. 90% of wetlands in the Calgary area were dried up by late July. The average person doesn't see or understand the ecological impact of things like that, though. Just "it was nice again in the evening and no rain. Rain suuuuuuckkss, hot rules!!!!!".
