As I see the weather forecast, I see climate change. They are talking snow, in early October... I may drive up to Pine Cove, a local community, just to watch it snow...it is not normally like this. Extreme changes, and extremes. They are talking 15 to 30 degrees below normal temperature. Just last week er were flirting with 100 degrees, now we are seeing 50 degrees. This has profound consequences. as this impacts food production. That in turn impacts food costs, and in this economy, that means some people will feel hungry a lot more often. I think we have reached that tipping point. The lack of action in the past is catching up with us. We will adapt, but it is not going to be a smooth transition. There is going to be pain and suffering associated with climate change. I can only hope we survive. We have started a profound change on this planet and there is no place to hide from it.
