In the town of Sodankyla, Finland, the thermometer on July 17 registered a\u00a0record-breaking 90 degrees<\/a>, a remarkable figure given that Sodankyla is 59 miles north of the Arctic Circle, in a region known for winter snowmobiling and an abundance of reindeer.<\/p>\n

This is a hot, strange and dangerous summer\u00a0<\/b>across the planet.<\/p>\n

Greece is in mourning after scorching heat and high winds\u00a0fueled wildfires<\/a>that have\u00a0killed more than 80 people<\/a>. Japan recorded its highest temperature in history, 106 degrees, in a heat wave that killed 65 people in a week and hospitalized 22,000, shortly after catastrophic flooding killed 200.<\/p>\n

Ouargla, Algeria, hit 124 degrees on July 5,\u00a0a likely record for the continent of Africa<\/a>. And the 109-degree reading in Quriyat, Oman, on June 28 amazed meteorologists because that wasn\u2019t the day\u2019s high temperature.\u00a0That\u00a0was the low<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>. It was the hottest low temperature ever recorded on Earth. …<\/p>\n

The brutal weather has been supercharged by human-induced climate change, scientists say. Climate models for three decades have predicted exactly what the world is seeing this summer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s been a bit warm for us here in Minnesota this summer, but not too much out of the ordinary. We’ve been lucky<\/em>. The hot, hot temperatures, wild storms, and wildfires world over are reported and bring home how we’re changing the weather.<\/p>\n

But not in a planned way.<\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, is President Trump trying to do anything to repair years of governmental neglect brought on by GOP<\/strong><\/em> disbelief? Or does he still think it’s all a Chinese-inspired hoax? Then again, I have no idea how to interpret any answer he’d care to give. He’s literally become that awful of a leader, of a man.<\/p>\n

I do fear that an awful lot of us will have to die before this planet’s ecosphere regains its footing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
