Believing

Long before I ever heard the phrase "Climate Change", I knew something was happening. Everybody noticed. People talked about how summer wasn't the same as it used to be, how winter was different, how the rain didn't seem right, and the wind was weird. Farmers knew something was wrong. The timing was off somehow. Fields dried up. We are all being affected by this, one way or another. More wildfires, more asthma, missing the birds and the butterflies, watching lakes shrink or tides rise. And when someone asks, "Do you believe in climate change?" I imagine a person who's been punched in the face being asked, "Do you believe in fists?"
