This is, like, purely focused on my own personal enjoyment and not addressing the practical concerns even of other locals let alone any other current or future problems caused by climate change, but I hate how there's looking to be no such thing as a nice summer in Vancouver anymore. If it doesn't stay overcast the entire time like in 2016, holding the temperature in the hoodie-and-jeans zone except that the added insolation means you really should wear sunscreen, then the province catches one single glimpse of the sun and immediately catches fire. Either it's too cold to go to the beach, or it's hot as hell and about equally incandescent. You can't trust it to be 28C and clear for more than a weekend before either it clouds over or the countryside combusts and smog starts rolling in. Some of the ways that summer's gotten worse since I was a kid are just part of becoming an adult, but in this case it's objectively worse. It didn't always do that.
