Some crazy records being broken this year. There is also statistically outlying Antarctica ice melt but I haven't seen that story anywhere since first seeing it.

One thing you can do is write to your MP or representative.
Here is a letter template to write to your MP if you are in the uk - you could also use the template in the US or elsewhere in the world : https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/write-to-your-mp

More examples of climate change having an effect. The last two months especially.

It does seem to have ramped up in the last few months especially. On a local level we are really struggling to grow food (in our gardens) due to such bizarre weather and that is a tiny example of the effect.

No one that can fix it- cares.

It does feel like that but I care in my small way, it's all we can do is make small changes and contact our representatives. I've linked a template letter you can send to your representative or MP in my comment on this post.
