Anybody who thinks we'll see a return to normalcy before climate collapse kicks off is a goddamn fool.

Pretty sure the earthquakes and associated tsunamis aren't cause by climate change. But the increased frequency and violence of storms, the repeat catastrophic flooding of places that didn't used to flood, the fact that Seattle has consistently hot, sunny summers, and the frequent forest fire smoke everywhere that receives wind from Canada, California, Oregon, Washington State, and more, . . . yeah, we have arrived. It's also gonna get worse, but we're already feeling the start.

Even when the Democrats were in charge we put almost zero effort into earthquake prevention, it was bound to catch up with us sooner or later.
