Circle of the Moon
Barbara HamblyRereading Barbara Hambly's Circle of the Moon where a bunch of nobles are arguing that 70 years ago the rains (induced by magic) once came late & the latest drought is just a blip even tho magic isn't working now. It's exactly like reading today's politicians on climate change.
