I'll keep this short and sweet. I've always been interested in meteorology, and in my youth wanted to be a weather forecaster. I even built my own homemade weather station, and learned to read a dew point chart by the age of ten.
As a result, following the weather is a hobby of mine even now. There have been some very strange events in the past year. All kinds of record setting temperatures in many parts of the world. Tornadoes in southeast Asia, even tornadoes in Illinois in December. Not to mention the massive typhoons.
If you ask true scientists, they will tell you that the ice packs at our planet's poles are warming at unprecedented rates. Animals are moving their ranges into higher latitudes and altitudes as the overall temperature of the earth gradually warms. Plants are showing stress from too much or too little water, even in my own neighborhood. So-called "one hundred year" climatic events are occurring much more often, like every few years.
Humans have free will, which means they can choose to not believe the climate is changing, for their own selfish reasons. But the plants and animals know, if only they could talk to us.
