Climate notes for July 21st 2023
It's interesting that I dropped this little curated blog post for a while. Not because I lost interest. Sure, partly because I'm so busy these days (parenting + an intense job). But because the news slowed down. Maybe I just wasn't on the right corners of the internet. Or maybe, spring into summer lulled everyone into a false sense of security. And now, I'm here being overwhelmed by the science, news and deaths occurring as our planet boils us alive. The current situation is analogous to a lobster turning up the heat in the water after it crawled into the pot itself.
