He is intentionally playing up the drama. Its totally fair to call it out. You are using me as a proxy for the entire world. It comes off across as shrill preaching. And we still have to discuss the actual weather which might run warm for awhile.

Isn't this the exact same thing you do to BLI every time this conversation comes up, except that you tell him he's freaking out too much? Or...to use the expression you just used, "Clutching his pearls" As for your shrill comment - a kinda disappointing thing to read. Sorry if I made you for a split second confront how our collective actions might affect our climate negatively.

2019 as well. And 2015 was smoke free and a had a top tier wet August in Seattle.

2016 had a very dry spring (at SEA, less than half the rain this April saw), but that summer didn't turn out too bad. As @ShawniganLake said earlier, you really can't judge how a summer is going to be in early May.

You took a discussion about the upcoming pattern and turned it into a call for action for me personally. I am not freaking out properly! Its this shrill crap people are repulsed by and why we are where we are right now.
