A wet saddle? This made me realise that I’ve lost the habit of putting a rain cover on my saddle every time I park my bike. I’ve always done that, all year round, unthinkingly.
When did I stop doing that? A few weeks ago? A few days ago? How quickly did a period of drought become so normal to me? My personal baseline is Danish and Irish weather, for pity’s sake. When did I stop taking it for granted that water might fall out of the sky on any given day?

We live with the consequences still.

But I can't help worrying that this is also yet another classic #ShiftingBaseline - most of the losses are only given since 2001, imagine it was compared with 1901 or even 1801...

It's a really clear example of #shiftingBaseline - #Denmark used to run a state owned #icebreaker to keep the inshore water #SeaIce free in winter - it was sold in the mid 1990s because it wasn't being used.

This is why we need #climatology to tell us how things are now, how they used to be and to understand how it will be in the future.
