To the editor: Why would any metropolis need the distinction of bragging rights about life-threatening temperatures? (100 days of 100-degree misery: A summer of relentless, oppressive heat across the West,” Sept. 5)
Levity doesn’t damage, however in relation to the results of local weather change, there’s not a lot to chuckle about, besides maybe this quote from the article:
“‘These are ranges of warmth which can be excessive and are what we usually count on to see extra of because the local weather system, warms,’ [said UC Irvine professor Jane Baldwin], though she added that extra evaluation must be executed to find out whether or not that is going to be the brand new regular for California.”
That’s once I cracked up. Extra research? To show what we are literally experiencing?
One of the simplest ways we will cease the juggernaut of local weather disaster is to cease burning fossil fuels. We’ve got all of the analyses we have to show that idea. Now we want authorities in any respect ranges to prepared the ground, and we the individuals to make them lead.
