Another Hot Day: Parks in the Early Morning, and Paul Krugman
Another hot one, and this is what it looks like about 7:30 in Parc Outremont. Nice, eh?
But these hot summer days are worrying. Where are we going with climate change?
Paul Krugman writes about this today. Heat and drought, like that ravaging the middle of the continent "is likely to be the leading edge of damage from climate change, taking place over the next few decades; the drowning of Florida by rising sea levels and all that will come later."
He continues: "Will the current drought finally lead to serious climate action? History isn’t encouraging.... For large-scale damage from climate change is no longer a disaster waiting to happen. It’s happening now. "
