Nothing different here on the other side of the pond. People with no reaction in front of the ongoing disaster. Seems a bit as if a massive trepanation campaign was rolled out. And there will a time when finding something to eat or drink will become a challenge, a new opportunity for wars.
I'm amazed that people are not amazed by this stuff. I think the Covid thing got everyone used to things being crazy so some new crazy weather event is now "normal"
I'm a full-on doomer so I search the news and connect the dots. The average person doesn't have time for that. Worse, when it starts to dawn on them that this is really, REALLY serious, thry want to forget it. Not now. Too much overload already.
Question: who are these home buyers stepping up for $400k houses? Where do they live now? Where are they getting the money? Banks are going for this like its a new bubble? Somebody clue me in, I'm confused.
According to my realtor friends it’s mostly new home buyers from the area. The big problem is no inventory, a strong seller’s market, and, to a lesser extent, buyers new to the area. We are still not a climate destination but that will likely change. People aren’t selling because it’s too hard to replace a house around here. Rents have skyrocketed too.
My thoughts EXACTLY about the weather and the politics! We (our country and our world) are facing 2 existential crises--climate and democracy--and few people seem to care, certainly not the "mainstream" news.
Am I happy to have unexpectedly warmer days in March? Sure, it is a nice thing to get out in warmth and sunshine. But I can't help but think it's kind of like the last meal for a death row inmate.

Keep an eye on the fruit crop this year in NY to see effects of warming
