Extreme swings in Temperature and weather of all kinds appears to be the new norm

However, both humans and animals both wild and domesticated are going to have more trouble adapting to these extreme changes and plants too all over the world. The extreme cold in some ways is just as bad as the extreme heat which is killing Saquaro  cactuses in Arizona and Joshua trees in California and Arizona and wherever else they are in the U.S. or Mexico. So, all these extremes both hot and cold and droughts and floods are making it more difficult for literally everything both human and animal to survive in these extreme changes ongoing winter and summer and everywhere in between.
