It was over 72 degrees in northern New York yesterday. This morning feels a little more autumnal with temps in the 40s, but it's still unseasonably mild. The peppers and tomatoes are still ripening and it is almost Halloween!
Meanwhile, a Brazilian climate activist writing in the NYT today is calling Sunday's elections in that country as a make or break moment in the struggle against climate change. Bolsinaro is all in on destroying the Amazonian rain forest in the name of development, while Lula da Silva promises to protect what is left of the "lungs of the world". It is hard to believe someone would fly in the face of all the evidence and advocate the destruction of the rainforest, but having lived through 4 years of Bolsinaro's equivalent, I guess I'm a believer.
Based on 50 years of gardening experience in the northeast US, I can confidently state that environmental climate change is accelerating. What are we going to do about it?
