“climate change” is
trending; trendy, too: social media abuzz w/ greta this & turning point that: “climate change”: donald sutherland don’t like it, angelina jolie don’t like it, & the u.n. climbs down from the climate summit w/o stone tablets – or any real anything, really. nobody will do what needs doing or will will to do it: the oceans sucked up the heat so that those of us who live on land & don’t fish hardly notice. maybe nobody can. but the angolan govt. can distribute staples to drought victims in the country’s south, w/1.5 m folks “food insecure,” i.e. hungry recently, soon, or now; the pune collector in maharastra state can evac 29k people to avoid the fate of the 12 killed by floods; & hyderabad at “a standstill” (not to mention torrential downpours & deluges in w. greece, puerto rico, & london gets month’s worth of rain in one day; 13” in 24 hrs. in michigan; & after worst flooding in 100 yrs, costa brava in spain has worst mosquito plague: asian “tiger mosquitoes”: a billion hatching round the clock, flying in huge swarms; “known to be extremely aggressive,” attack day & night & day (w/dengue and zika, at that)) the bolivian amazon looks like “an endless series of fires”; indonesia skies still red; more record heat in maui; & the i.t. worker in greenland sez “change is here, it is not some thing in the future or 100 years. it is here. it is happening” & a native inhabitant sez "we don't know what winter will come now”; nor do we here in n.e. ks.: hi’s still 10f>norm lo’s still 15f>norm if things don’t freeze, bad things happen around here; & if nothing freezes, the bad things happen there, too, there where you are, who- ever you are
