It's important to share this information. Too many want to ignore and have been ignoring the signs, although more and more places are affected by this and many are realizing how serious this is.

Sometimes I think it's the Earth's way of getting rid of the parasite that is humankind, even though we humans have largely brought this on ourselves. A friend gave me a perspective when we both worked for Greenpeace 35 years ago. If we nuke ourselves, life will go on, maybe not human life as we know it, but mutations and resilience will let the planet survive. In my 20's I got a bit of comfort from that thought; but in my 60's I'm seeing the changes and the real potential for serious problems, mass extinction due to climate changes, including wars over land and resources.
Not a promising outcome.
