I am quite ambivalent when it comes to the geo and climate crisis. Of course I am concerned about conserving our precious planet, but at least the El Niño / La Niña cycle as well as the NAO are well known and cyclical phenomenon that are much more tangible, although not always too predictable.
Here in the nordics we can always appreciate a bit of a drought, but I can assume you live in the southern hemisphere where precipitation is more critical?
