Last week I wrote about the multitude of articles showing how our country is waking up to the climate crisis and beginning to react. None too soon because the consequences are becoming not only worse but converging. Or, as the following article describes, cascading. The article from the NYT is a bit long and honestly, scary and depressing as…
Over the decades that I have been writing these articles I have reported on a number of themes most of which relate to climate change. Of course, when writing about different themes referring to the same topic they logically compliment each other.
