Wholesome: my phone autogenerated a video of my dog remembering what it's like to have snow in winter

This is the warmest winter in 40 years, 50-60% snowpack, and we're the headwaters for a good chunk of US agriculture. All of the seasonal cycles are so off that nature thinks it's 2-3 months ahead or behind what it should be. The weather this month is normal for April. I was sipping my coffee this morning while looking at the drought-parched landscape and thinking about the impending catastrophic fire season. My phone sent me one of those stupid autogenerated photo collages. It's of how different winters were just a few years ago.

Thats why I say climate apocalypse now.
Climate apocalypse is my go-to term for gravitas, but I like polycrisis. You can't separate the environmental from the social or financial, so that term lets you link all of the intersectional issues into one collection of feedback loops.
