Hot

Summers were already unbearable in the northeast and now they will only get worse as the planet continues to warm thanks to our own unmitigated idiocy.

Last week we had the hottest day on the planet since records began being kept in the 18th century (and likely well before since we didn't yet have the means to properly screw things up). Meanwhile we will allow more devastation to happen before pure panic sets in and the worst culprits begin to earnestly attempt damage control because the cause is undeniable even to thick-headed cultural conservatives who think science is a dirty word.

I fear less for myself than for my children who will suffer the consequences of our ignorance and greed far longer than I.
