The evacuations every year is concerning as well. This isn't sustainable. Is the cause of all this chaos simply climate change? It seems like a switch was triggered and all of a sudden our summers are full of rampant forest fire and drought.
I guess I'm naive thinking the impact of climate change would be more subtle and gradual than this.
How can we live like this?

I'm sure there will be lots of living to go. It's going to be progressively more uncomfortable and difficult but people aren't just going to pack it in.
And yes, this is how climate change works.
It's still 31 at 9pm and the wind is ripping outside.
Go bags are packed.
Nevertheless have an important concrete pour at Adams Lake tomorrow and if the road is open we will do it.
Buckle up.
