The climate is definitely changing; I've been noticing this since around 6th grade, so going on 30 years now.
In my region winter weather would be from November til the beginning of Feb. (It would align with the nursery rhyme, "April showers bring may flowers". So it would first snow sometime in November for thanksgiving and then would be melting away through the end of feb and then the rains would cause the rest to clear away rapidly. By June it would be over >100F for weeks at a time and start cooling around October because you would always be concerned if it was going to be nice and warm enough to trick or treat without covering up your costume.
Now, its drifted to the point where "winter" weather now occurs shifted by about 3 months and starts at the end of Jan....
Antartica used to be a tropical rain forest, about the only location on earth that hasn't changed in forever is the Peruvian flats.
Point is, the Earth is an ever changing ecosystem over billions of years. Are humans contributing to the current cycle? Not really, the earth already cycles through regular ice ages, did we speed this one up a little bit? Possibly, most likely in fact but in the grand scheme of the billions of years we barely altered the needle.
To think humanity alone is causing an entire planet to change it's entire ecosystem by ourselves is the same pure egotistical bullshit supremacy that the left like to spurt about everything.
Yeah, my that was all kinda my point. My thought isn't that omg winter is disappearing, its that summer and winter are swapping spots. idk if this has to do with that pole reversal that happened a couple years (dozen+) back or what. (Or I guess related would be more accurate)
Polar flips happen fairly regularly (in geological timeframes) every 100-200 thousand years ish. Last one was around 700-800 thousand years ago so we are actually way over due and poles regularly wander around in between that.
There are signs of a flip starting but could take a few thousand years or be tomorrow. The only real negative from a pole swap is a brief reduction in the magnetic field as everything goes hay wire.
For us in our modern day it would be a small disaster, a lot of things depend on north and south being where they are, and would also make calling things like South America seem a bit odd in the future as it would actually then be the north... but yea other than this no major effects on the climate.
