20 years ago or so . . .
. . paleometeorologists published studies showing that climate changes weren't gradual as had always been presumed, but rather sudden - and the transition periods were accompanied by very wild and erratic weather, until the new norm settled down.
Nobody paid any attention to them, except the insurance companies, who expressed considerable interest.
We are now in a period of climate change. Expect it to continue rather quickly, accompanied by plenty of wild weather - and high insurance rates.
