70°F in Boston last weekend. In January. You bet everyone's talking about the weather. What they're not talking about is the link to "completely unmistakable global warming trends." 63% of Americans rarely or never discuss global warming @SarahFRobinson boston.com/news/weather/2020…

I explained it to a friend this way: Ventura County - home to the Thomas and Woolsey Fires in the last 3 years - is what 2.5 looks like (this is about right - it has warmed about 2.5 over 20th C). So add some bad onto that and pack your go bag by the door. Forever. On average.

To me “Caring about climate change” isn’t really a choice. It’s like “caring about” a leak in your roof. Or “caring about” having cancer. I don’t understand why it seems like a choice to people who have a will for life. And I don’t feel a need for any complex motivation for it.
