That video of a glacier retreating over 30 years finally convinced me
I used to think climate change was mostly natural cycles, but I saw a time lapse from the Columbia Glacier in Alaska that showed it pulling back almost 12 miles between 1980 and 2010. The side-by-side photos were so stark I couldn't deny something real was happening. What got me was the specific rate of change, it wasn't slow or steady, it accelerated after 2000. Has anyone else had a single piece of evidence flip your whole view on something?

You ever notice how the same pattern shows up in something as simple as neighborhood gardens? I'm watching a house on my street where their front yard went from grass to native plants over the last five years. First year, barely anything changed. Second year, a few more weeds than normal. But this year, it's basically a mini meadow with birds and butterflies all over it. The acceleration is what gets me. It's like once things cross a certain threshold, the whole system starts moving faster on its own. Your glacier timeline sounds exactly like that.
