    may only have happened around once every 1,500 years, the study suggests. Climate change has made a drought of this severity around 30 times more likely, according to the researchers, and one is now expected to happen every 50 years under current conditions.

    If we continue burning oil, gas and coal, very soon, we’ll reach 2C of warming and we’ll see similar Amazon droughts about once every 13 years,"

    My house isn’t really built to withstand once every millenium events now happening every decade.

        I’ve been saying things like this for almost the past 10 years. Remembering what things were like prior to that.

        “Do you remember when we started getting forest fires this time of year every year?”

        “Do you remember we used to get enough snow to have it stick around for weeks and build snow people?”
