We hear a lot about climate change these days, from scientists and politicians and the kids trying to change things for the better. That said, it can seem a bit of a big concept to grasp sometimes, especially when none of the effects can be easily seen from our front doors.
There are arguments about what’s going to happen and when, what climate change actually looks like in action, and whether or not we can even stop what we’ve already set into motion at all. If we live in a temperate climate, there’s a good chance most of these effects don’t look like increased heat and ice melt, and so it’s easy for people to dismiss it as an issue, or claim to not believe it’s happening just because it’s not happening to them.
These 6 before-and-after images, though, are stark enough that they might just bring it all home.
