The Heat is On

Let’s stop kidding ourselves and do something

If you’re in the US this weekend, I bet I know how you’re feeling right now.

Hot.

Right? Maybe worried too?

As I’m writing this (on Friday), forecasters are predicting triple-digit temperatures for what will be the hottest stretch in over a decade from New York City to Michigan.

And if it feels like record-level heat waves are becoming a regular occurrence, you’re right. So are other scary developments, like dangerous storms, out-of-control fires, and totally bleached out coral reefs.
