It’s seeming like we don’t just get an occasional rainy day like we used to. We get deluges that deposit an inch of rain in 20 minutes and either run off or saturate the ground, causing flash flooding and numerous other headaches. And the heat this summer has been relentless—long stretches of 90 degree-plus days with a searing sun beating down, day after day. The feels-like temp was 107 yesterday.
Maybe our spidey sense is getting fried because we get inundated with endless references to climate change. Or maybe it’s just an abnormally hot summer… It is summer, after all.
I’m gonna go with the former. Human-induced, accelerated climate change is real, and most of us are feeling the effects. I’m not even going out on a limb, or sticking my neck out. Gonna leave it at that.
