I live in the Pacific Northwest. It took only two years to go from:
"Breaking news: Record-setting forest fires in California will send smoke up to Washington."
to:
"It's wildfire season again, here's our favorite air filters for 2021."
Humanity's ability to go from "oh, shit" to "this is fine" and just not realize how much worse things have gotten is incredible.
I assume in 2025 we'll all just scroll past the boring article about which ten metropolitan cities in Florida washed into the Gulf today so that we can get to some funny comics.
