The section on weather vs climate was good and your last paragraph on “who to ask” was magic. It seems everyone is an expert nowadays, especially politicians. As of late, a few staunch republicans, who happen to be climate scientists have been speaking out. I cheer then all the way: A conservative environmentalist, it’s not an oxymoron. Why can’t a person love and respect our planet and all the while support lower taxes and less government, etc.?
But most of all, I loved (Big Time) the photo at the beginning of this article. I pined it on my Pinterest board.
