Okay, climate change is unlikely to directly kill me. But it seems highly likely to indirectly kill me or at least make my life unpleasant. San Francisco broke an unfortunate record last month:

In another sign California’s persistent drought, downtown San Francisco recorded no measurable rain in January for the first time in 165 years.

The National Weather Service also said Santa Cruz recorded no rain in January for the first time since 1893. Normal rainfall for that city in January is more than 6 inches.

For the Bay Area as a whole, last month was the driest January on record, the weather service said.

This article at Daily Kos by Jen Hayden sheds more light on the issue.
