I can say that it is. It’s just felt differently wherever you are in the world.
Take, for example, this story about “the once-verdant mountain pastures where alpacas graze are drying out from climate change.” You might be unable to imagine what it’s like to live in Peru (well, I’ve never been there too). Still, the stories shared by the people who live there tell something about what’s really going on around us. It also allows us to see what our future might look like.
From The high-altitude quest to save alpacas:
Climate change in the Andes has rewritten weather patterns in ways that have affected alpacas at every stage of life—from increasing mortality of newborns to shrinking grasslands where herds feed. Abrupt changes in precipitation, as well as ice melt as glaciers retreat, are wreaking havoc on both alpacas and the communities that raise them.
It might not be for you now, but there are stories from around the world that tell otherwise.
