    They need to do more racking of their forests! /s

    This is one of those things that the climate deniers are just unable to comprehend. They see “a few degrees” as nothing, but like most things in nature, a small change in the environment can radically change things. They never think of the ramifications of an abnormal amount of rain (well Texas does now) that causes flooding/mudslides. Then on the other end of the spectrum, when you don’t have enough rain anymore and now you’re surrounded by kindling waiting for a spark, or have places running out of water for ppl/crops/animals.
