Summers in America are getting hotter and lasting longer

 


An article in the NY Times showed that temperatures in America are 1.5 to 2.7 degrees higher now than they were in the '70s. Parts of the nation already have experienced punishingly high temperatures, extreme drought, wildfires, severe storms, flooding or some combination. This is no laughing matter. 

We spent two weeks cruising off the west coast of Ireland and were pinned by gales in one location for 4 days. That's not normal.We've concluded that holding events that are scheduled will not be possible in the future as climate weirdness is unpredictable. It's not just hotter, it's more unstable. 

Woe is us. It is certainly palpable.
