Beginning? You're putting it mildly. It has begun and is out of control.
Runaway Global Warming began a number of years ago. I had to evacuate in '17 due to fires. Every year since then fire season has been extremely stressful. I feel the stress and the stress of my community everyday. I have petitioned my state reps over the passed years with sensible ideas and have received NO RESPONSE. They're useless.
Having lived through blizzards and hurricanes on the east coast in my youth, fire season is 1K more terrifying. Last year for a few days the temperature in the shade reached 110 and 115 on my front porch.
I feel I am on the front lines of "past tipping point". Politicians twiddle their thumbs and do nothing.
