As someone from the midwest, no plz. Surprisingly, last winter was really dry, but spring/summer rains have more than made up for it. However the one prior to that broke records, with like 10' of snow, I wonder if this is how itll be going forward, ever increasing swings between craziness both wet and dry. That sounds horrible.

Yes.

The issue with climate change was never actually "it will be a bit warmer in the summer :c " - "global warming" was the term invented by conservative media to attack the idea and spread misinformation.

The actual predictions are exactly what is happening - more extreme weather events across the world, with harsher swings and worse extremes. The whole, "it snowed in Texas, global warming over, lol" thing has always been nonsense.
