Then there are those really hot days where all you can do is lay on your favorite branch and hope a cool wind comes by to ruffle your fur and cool you off.
Ever have one of those?
Perhaps sans favorite branch?
We had a true heat wave this past summer. Seniors, pets, and children were advised to stay indoors. Some school systems opened their doors so children would have an air-conditioned place to spend the day.
A few weeks back we had two days in the high 40s low 50s with a high 70s low 80s day followed by two more high 40s low 50s days.
Not sure I can claim this weather as a New Englandism.
I watch how things change, how invasive species enter and existing species exit ecosystems.
I suggest we – you – start acting before it’s too late. In many places a gallon of water costs more than a gallon of gas. What will you do when there’s a tax on breathable air? The phrase food insecurity came into common use not long ago.
I laughed when I heard it. It’s right up there with senior citizens being overhoused, meaning the government gets to decide how big a house they should have.
Strangely, the government never makes that decision with the wealthy and well-to-do, only with those living in he margins.
Thank god for that, huh? I’d hate to think we’re socialists.
But food insecurity? You mean they have no food to eat, right?
Then quit euphemizing it. Global climate change is not the same as global warming. The latter is a threat to existing species, the former is something which occurs naturally over time and nothing to worry about.
True, it does occur over time…usually centuries if not millenia, not decades, years, weeks, hours, and days.
