I don't have air conditioning in my log home. But it stays relatively comfortable inside, and if it does get too warm, I can retreat to my basement, where it's much cooler. So far, I'm still upstairs. But I'm itching to get outside to the garden! I gave it a shot this morning to pick some tomatoes, beans, and snow peas . . . but within five minutes, I was bitten up by skeeters.
Okay, I admit to being a whiner. But the bigger thing to whine about is climate change, something that some choose to consider a hoax. But the truth is that 2018 is shaping up to be the fourth hottest year since records have been kept. Why? Well, according to NASA, there are several factors:
~ global temperature rise
~ warming oceans
~ shrinking ice sheets
~ glacial retreat
~ decreased snow cover
~ sea level rise
~ declining arctic sea ice
~ extreme events
~ ocean acidification
Seriously, do you really want to label this a HOAX? If you do, then I suppose you are okay with increasing coal production, fracking, deregulating the EPA, weakening fuel-economy rates, downsizing national parks and monuments, etc. I do not understand how climate change deniers, who I believe must love their children as much as I love mine, can be okay with all the efforts 45's administration is making to fuck up the environment. Somebody explain this to me.
There is no denying that things are heating up. On many levels. Will 45 fire Sessions? Will Mueller tease us with a clue? Is Manafort considering a flip? Does Cohen have something really big? Will Sarah or Kellyanne have a melt-down?
Oh, the drama! It's like a heat wave!
I can't keep from crying
Tearing me apart
