Thanks for a very educational and much needed alert to all of us Mitch...

I hope we will all start saying "global warming" rather than climate change which the right so conveniently created to help it sound "nicer" and less alarming; as your article displays-- the planet is heating up and the effects are devastating.

We are in a drought and we are living the crisis of little water. It is frightening.

My dear husband, whom I call my "heater" always says to people like me who have always enjoyed the heat, "your species will survive this global warming, meanwhile those of us with my genetic will very quickly die off."

Hes joking; but I'm sad and concerned that if we all don't get our shit together, it's going to get worse.

Watch out for Pierre -- he's bound to read this -- and this is his plea to the world! ;-)
