The thing that's been the most jarring to me about climate change has been just that - the change. Every year feels different. You might have intense rains one year, drought-like situation the next year. One summer might be brutal, another pleasant.
I feel unmoored and untethered. The reasonable predictability of weather patterns is completely broken now.
Weather patterns have never been that predictable. Sure there are some patterns, and weather predictors know important things to watch (like El Nino/la nina), but those are not on a predictable cycle so much as they last long enough that you can put reasonable ranges on what can happen a few months in advance.
