My mega neighbor was complaining about the strange weather and how it is affecting his garden. I wanted to explain climate change to him, but like I said he a Trump supporter so he won't listen.

I agree

Now try to convince the people in the West with their lifestyle to sacrifice even the tiniest thing

Then try to convince everyone in the world who aspires to that lifestyle that they shouldn't have it, because the people who got there first fucked things for them

Good luck with that

BBC, are you utterly incompetent? Do you understand absolutely nothing? What is your point in phrasing it this way? I choose to be generous and assume it's a very poor attempt at clickbait.

Like all other times such news articles were published with a surprised tone : Yes. Of course, yes. How could it possibly not become normal in the following years ?
