Australia is on fire and it's out of control.
In Greenland, the ice sheet is melting.
"If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, scientists estimate that sea level would rise about 6 meters (20 feet). If the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea level would rise by about 60 meters (200 feet)."
In South Africa there is a terrible drought.
"The drought has continued into 2019, as multiple regions in Southern Africa have seen significantly reduced levels of rainfall. A report from FAO noted that, while rainfall had picked up in late December 2018, several areas within the region were suffering from a severe drought and accompanying effects."
In northwestern Illinois where I live the temperature is 46 degrees (7.7 Celsius) instead of the usual 20 degrees (-6.6 Celsius) or colder. In other words, the climate where I live is wonderful. However, the farmers complained about too much rain in 2019.
There's going to be a lot of problems and it's going to get worse every year.
China is a big part of the problem, as is the United States (thanks President Trump) and Brazil (thanks President Bolsonaro).
