Heard an interesting conversation today between an old farmer from southern Namibia and a guy from Windhoek. The guy from Windhoek was worried about climate change and how strange it is that so much rain is falling across Namibia in July. The farmer, calm as ever, just said: "I’ve been farming for 42 years — and the only month it’s never rained on my land is August." Makes you wonder... maybe this “abnormal” weather isn’t so new after all. Do you think our perception of climate is skewed by short-term memory, or is something bigger really changing? And how is this affecting Namibians?   submitted by   /u/Commercial-Tiger-631 [link]   [comments]
