Next time you meet a climate change denier…

Tell them we had a bloody tornado in Sydney today.

My home and work fine, Mr B decided to take shelter during his lunchbreak in a shopping centre that had a roof collapse, but it was comparatively minor.

Seriously, I am going to bite the kneecaps off the next politician that tells me coal is good for humanity.

Back to writing! SO CLOSE to finishing the current thing! Alas, five important things queued behind it …

I'm in NYC. Our recent summers have only gotten hotter and hotter. It is a few days from Christmas and for months autumn has felt like April, which is to say fifty, sixty, SEVENTY degrees. Not an aberration of a day, but months of it. I'm a cold weather person. I wish Canada would get back on the job and blow some cold air down on us. This past weekend were news reports of locals going to the beaches in bikinis and swimming. It was nice out.
Buffalo, NY is happy, though. They are generally buried in snow by November, and they haven't have any appreciable frozen precipitation.

And then, the instability will whack us the other way. Boston got so much snow last winter that the last of the municipal snow piles melted sometime in the summer.

The politicians who purposefully dissemble about climate change for political purposes and money should burn in hell (Times Square in July). Those who are ignorant about science in general and climate change in particular have no right to put forth legislation concerning it. Of course, these people are the ones steering the climate change committees, because it's all about power, not doing the right thing. I almost wish all scientists could go on strike against politicians who deny clear findings. Let the world try to operate without science for a bit. This goes for women's health issues and rights, too. grrrrrrrrr....

YES! I used to be able to cope with Sydney because at least it would get cool at night, and the winters were delightful. But now it rarely cools and the winters are gone.

And I could not agree with you more about the need for politicians to have a knowledge base. Across the Western world, we routinely elect people we would never hire for jobs!
