Even the illiterate (there are many such persons with a warm soul, much better than the educated ones) folks are saying that rain is going to Bangladesh because they have more trees there.

Winters seem to come later and harsher than the previous years.This past week, the temperature has yoyoed (on Saturday) from -22 C to 6 C, in Toronto. Worse, the entire province of Ontario, was under an Environment Canada extreme weather warning. The seasons of fall and spring have become brief interludes before the destructive arrival of winter and summer. Moderation is a word that global warming has forgotten.
