Simply put, Washington, DC, weather is miserable at this time.  It feels like the middle of August, at the moment, with temperatures nearing 100 degree with very high humidity.

While news reporting focuses on misreading of stolen emails, the reality is that climate chaos moves [...]

A two degree centigrade warming of the globe above pre-industrial levels would have serious, some might say devastating, effects across the globe, with a range of serious consequences from weather disruptions to increased droughts (and floods) to extinctions to …  It is not a pretty picture. And, we are essentially guaranteed to hit that level [...]
