We just had the hottest July on record here in Austin, surpassing last year’s record July. The rest of the country and the world seems to be in a similar situation. Yet I only see lots of disconnected stories about the weather in the media. I suppose we can put the pieces together ourselves, but I can’t say I’ve seen a single chart of historical CO2 levels anywhere in the mainstream news. I did hear on the BBC that the is flooding in China and the Beijing subways are flooded. Over 30 inches of rain in a place that seldom sees significant rainfall.

it is difficult to watch the slow motion foolishness of an entire planet. Even economically the costs of doing something, anything to fight climate change is dwarfed by the costs of doing nothing. How bad does it have to get? I suppose we are finding out.
