Climate change is not a creeping warming of the earth, it is not the slow advance of seas, it is not gentle or easy, and it isn’t going to turn any place pleasantly tropical.

It will be cataclysm after catastrophe, at an ever-increasing tempo, for as long as we live, no matter what we do.

But what we do now will determine whether things will ever settle down again into a more peaceable clime.

Literally all of this has been predicted by science. The tornadoes and hurricanes. The fires. The blizzards. The social unrest. ALL OF IT. 

If anything, science was more conservative and optimistic than what we’ve seen so far. I’ve been reading about these things since I was a kid, and we’ve been pulling on the reins of a runaway horse while someone sitting next to us cracks the whip … for decades.

Because we panicked on seeing this, a clarification: Nova Scotia is not, as far as we can tell, on fire. (We did not check the rest of the list for accuracy.)

Arizona, which is not on this list, very much is.

Thank you for that clarification of my province– I had a moment of panic there LOL.
