In June, we had the biggest wildfires in Nova Scotia's history. In July we had the worst floods in 30 years that killed 4 people. In August, we flip flopped between extreme heat and "rain bombs". In September we're getting hit by Hurricane Lee, only a year after the last major hurricane (the one before that was back in 2017). The North Atlantic sea surface temperature remains over 1.2C above the 1991-2020 average, and 2023 is heading towards being the first recorded year to breach the 1.5C global temperature barrier. Any Nova Scotian who is still denying climate change at this point is the dumbest asshole alive. We have been slammed by extreme weather events back-to-back-to-back. Here's hoping next year is calmer, but it's clear that this is a taste of a 1.5C warmer world, and it kinda fuckin sucks.
