Climate change is worse, US politics more polarized, phones are bigger, computers are faster, etc. But if someone went to sleep in 2013 and woke up in 2023, it might take them a little bit to notice the changes.

Heat dome wasn't a word in 2013. Fire weather meant a dry day, not a tornado forming inside of a wild fire.
