PS - Also, please see my prior post on the Laughing that this issue has been met with - many more astonishing links (back to 1999/1998).

Hey JT - I know what you mean. I'm working on a comic contrasting the normal winter snow in my Denver back yard growing up in the 70's with what I see walking the dog now. It's real.
Climate change has is uncertain and knows no bounds. With more news of levies breaking on the Mississippi, I learn that the there's been 0.0 inches of rainfall through these 29 days of June in many parts of California (which was NOT a desert) and the Forest Fires are now producing air pollution that exceeds Federal air quality standards by 10x - that's 1000% of the limits.
My hometown in the northern Midwest has MUCH WARMER WINTERS. Sound good? The Mosquito population is devastating now.
JT
