There are huge brush fires in Australia. Massive. The drought in the midwest is so bad that barges are going to be pulled off the Mississippi soon, for how long is anyone’s guess. It snowed in San Diego today. Last year was the hottest year on record in the United States. Glaciers are flowing backwards, receding into memory before they’re gone forever.
This week, here in T-town, temperatures are not forecast to get above 40 degrees. All week. Which, compared to the other points of fact, is not all that interesting. It is unusual though, and that’s the point. But it’s all good… it’s not like global climate change is happening or anything.
