    Do you mean looking around the world with the naked eye? There is nothing visible in that spectrum that should diminish hope for the future. Life only continues to look better and better.

    Or do you mean through the lens of precise measuring tools and mathematical models? If that’s the case, then yeah, things look distressingly bleak.

      I mean I never saw smoke in the sky and at eye level like I’ve seen this summer and a lot of trees are dead, the ones that aren’t are visibly stressed. It’s very visible.

      The price of housing that my eyes see from text in the visible spectrum doesn’t agree. Or the lack of water during intense heatwaves. Or the lack of snow in winter.

      Unfortunately we are hitting the spongebob-diaper-meme phase of things where wildfires and atmospheric rivers are just all around the globe with increasing frequency and intensity. Count yourself lucky if you aren’t viewing it personally yet. Nowhere will be safe forever.

        We’ve been able to see wildfires for eons. Scary, but nothing that suggests there is no hope for the long-term future. We’ve equally recovered from wildfires for eons.

        Yes, precise measuring tools indicate that they are becoming more frequent, which is concerning, but there is nothing to the naked eye that would allow one to recognize that. Our eyes are just not that sensitive.
