welcome to your new climate

Weather been hot enough for you? Well, welcome to your new climate. Heat waves, while nothing new, are changing. They are hotter and longer, and have less cooling at night than before. Scientists believe climate change global warming is the cause. So drive that SUV with the AC cranked, cool that McMansion, and wait for the next change in the climate.

This isn't your father's climate anymore.

But let's not bother with trying to do anything to slash carbon output to try to minimize changes. We'll just roll the climate dice and hope the new version isn't inimical to human civilization. Right, de facto President Bush?
