70 in Nebraska and the wettest spring in 25 years.

That about 20 degrees below normal temps.

But I’m 59. I’ve seen it before. Young ones think it’s the end of the earth.

"But I’m 59. I’ve seen it before. Young ones think it’s the end of the earth."

That's why everyone should read a book on natural history. Even though they should know better, people tend to think that the world's climate and geography were always just as they are now, and that any change spells catastrophe.

But the earth has seen vast changes, from continental drift, to ice ages, to the extinction of the dinosaurs. 10,000 years ago, the place I am sitting was under hundreds of feet of ice. A million years ago, it was tropical, three million years ago it was two hundred miles out in the Pacific Ocean. (I'm going from memory, so my time-frames might be off, but the fact of massive change is correct.)

___________________________
I’m 76 and in Wisconsin. We are having another cool spring/summer, also wetter than average. However: the temperatures are about where they _used_ to be back in the 1960s/1970s. Ditto for the very cold winter we just had, except we have had colder ones within the past 30 years.

It’s a cycle.
