Couldn't decide if this was one for the journal or a toot - but here I am.
Watching the temps skyrocket in the northern hemisphere is horrifying but also my thoughts are with any public facing people [climate scientists; politicians, particularly the Greens, and concerned citizens] who have been trying to tell everyone for years.
And while the temperatures are rising and uncomfortable, everyone will take it seriously for a moment.
However, once the temperature becomes more tolerable they'll forget and comment on what a beautiful 20 degree day it is in January and not feel weird or think it's connected to the weather they're having right now.
I suppose some humans will muddle through this, and the earth will recover from us in time. But still, it stings that all of this could have been avoided.
