    It’s one thing to hear the warnings of scientists my entire life on the ravages of climate change. It is entirely another to see it play out in real life. News of fire and destruction will become as commonplace as school shootings in less than 10 years. Living in Hell will be normal soon.

        In Australia someone’s house burnt down the other day. I haven’t heard of any bushfires this year, but that house burning down sure pushed us ahead of the school shooting count for the year.
