The weather is becoming more severe every year.
It's not normal.
The climate crisis is real.
Unfortunately, politicians and wealthy business owners don't care. It's about profit. Addressing the biggest threat facing the world's population is not on their agendas.
I'm thinking about my eldest son who lives in Vermont with his girlfriend right now. The state is facing a once in a thousand-year downpour flooding roads, homes, and businesses along with other states like New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia.
I called and talked with him this morning and he said he's doing okay as his house is on high ground. Fingers crossed.
Anyone following the extreme heat blanketing the Southwest knows that record breaking temperatures have stretched into a full week with little respite predicted for the days ahead.
Phoenix, Arizonia is supposed to be hot in the summer. But the city has never seen the soaring temperatures that are threatening lives like now.
It's been a continuous hell for residents. A new continuous heat record saw 110 degrees for 10 consecutive days and is on the verge of setting a new record high in the state.
To no avail scientists have been trying to combat the crisis which is in unchartered waters and putting us in a whole new climate zone. Obviously, that plays out in a lot of different ways that dramatically affects human health.
Air pollution smothers cities across the globe. Climate records are shattered by the rapid advance of the earth's demise.
The sad fact is we're not going to be able to turn the clock back even if we wanted. Yes, there's some things that can be addressed to stave off our eventual doom and take some pressure off.
As it stands, the earth is screaming at us but getting help is unlikely despite the consequences.
