Seattle, Washington, expects to reach a temperature of 114 degrees Fahrenheit today. That is more than 40 degrees above normal for this time of year. I have never experienced this level of heat, but one woman who grew up in Florida without air conditioning and is now living in the Northwest compares it to standing in from of an open oven. A couple of minutes in the sun is physically painful.
Climate change is real, it's happening and so far out response has been pitifully inadequate. Climatologists say the situation in the Northwest would under normal conditions be a once in 10 thousand years. Remember that later this year or next summer. The time to act is rapidly coming to an end.
