We are seeing everyday signs that climate is changing, for the worse as far as the human race is considered.
My proof of today is the tornadoes in the US. Year after year, they start earlier, are more numerous, more powerful and last longer, meaning they go each year a bit further until the day they will end up in major cities.
Tornadoes of last week caused 80 deads and provoked billions of damage.

So, this is apparently the hottest July in the history of the world. It's a bit ironic that in parts of northern Europe (UK, northern France, Benelux) we are having lower than normal temperatures. Good for us, but we still understand the problem after having a warm winter and spring.
What will happen next? (August, for example.)

Every day high temperatures records are being broken -- scary.
I know I sound like a codger, but I can remember many occasions when winter in Oaxaca called for gloves and a cap along with a coat. In the past few years it was more like, "winter? what winter?" Sounds like a dream situation, but not when you think what it must indicate.

I have the same feeling about the water in the ocean. Off the coast here, the water is 2°C warmer than usual. Nice for people who go in the water but a catastrophe for marine life and the climate in general.

As the waters in the south of Oz have been getting warmer each year the big sharks are moving up as well. We used to have an attack every 5-9 years, now it is several with 3-5 deaths each year. Not so good for the water sports people!

Scary, and another indication of how the balance of nature is being upset.

The Mediterranean is turning into warm soup with a surface temperature of 29°.
