I am so so over climate change being something that I’m supposed to worry about in the future.
I didn’t have asthma until 2017 when we started having regular forest fire seasons.
One of my elderly relatives died during one of those forest fire seasons because he couldn’t handle the smoke.
Climate change is not some future issue. It is happening Right Now. It is impacting me and my family and my friends and it has been for quite some time.
If you read this I hope you reblog and share how climate change has impacted you and your loved ones. It is worth sharing. It is worth saying out loud.
I never see anyone directly blaming climate change for their health issues, or for the death of their loved ones, or even for the fact that they couldn’t go for a walk one day during an extreme weather event, but we need to. We need to name this shit! We need to call out the fact that corporate and government inaction on this issue is actively harming us. This is no longer some intangible issue.
Talk about climate change like it’s effecting you personally because it fucking is
