Hot weather

After a summer that’s been cool and rainy, it’s going to be hot all week here in Massachusetts. Records are going to get broken. Some local school districts are worried, because of course schools aren’t air conditioned in Massachusetts. We never used to need air conditioning in September.

In other news, clean up continues in Vermont and western Massachusetts after the devastating floods in July and August.

The phrase “global warming” now feels outdated. So does “climate change.” So does “climate weirdness.” In fact, the phrase “climate emergency” is beginning to feel a little dated….

What really amazes me is that there are still people in the U.S. who think climate change isn’t real.
