In Australia it depends on whom you ask.

The Greens say it's a catastrophe.

The Labor party says it's a problem, but not enough of one to actively do anything about.

The Liberal party tell you what you want to hear, but support the fossil fuel lobby while saying that it's not manmade.

The National party wants more nuclear power because apparently it's "better" .. for some reason that nobody understands.

One Nation blames the immigrants

The Trumpet of Patriots blame One Nation.

Fringe dwellers blame COVID, or grasshoppers, or kangaroos .. it's hard to keep track.

Uk. Cold, damp, summer yo yos between scorching and tepid. In winter we don't get much snow, instead the rain freezes

Different areas have different weather in the UK. It rains much more in the NW of England than in Kent, for example.

We love to talk about the weather here but we actually have some of the least extreme weather on the planet. Definitely getting hotter decade on decade, though

Singapore. Hot and Humid at 30C+ 24/7/365 - my neck frequently breaks out in rashes.

I don't expect Singapore to be around within the next 50 years due to Climate Change tbh

Netherlands. Pretty similar to the UK but our rains generally come in bigger bursts compared to your shorter periods of rain.

It depends. Where I live now it's warm and sunny most of the time (Baden-Württemberg), where I lived before it was a lot chillier (Berlin).

Temperate.

Climate change means that we get 50% more rain per year than we did when I was born and at the same time we have a lot more droughts. Right now it looks like the current drought might be letting up.

Pretty much everywhere, it’s going to be hot.

It's still April in your country then

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, but the showers haven't stopped.

Thailand; hot and wet, or hot and dry. There are a few days of "winter" that are relatively cool and pleasant.
