My last post is my conclusion based on NPR broadcasts. The Bonzo post is eye opening. Steve is correct that air conditioning is beyond hypocrisy and is in the realm of last gasp denial. Helen artfully used first responders to illustrate the problem of addressing climate change in the 50 years of avoidance, denial and greed lieing. Like people trapped in an elevator, we face a threat of attacking each other. The challenge is cooperation on a scale greater than WWII to overcome a mutual foe.

We are at an interface between life and death where events move faster than expected and passions run high. Helen ended her post with mention that we will file away heat emergencies. Lets hope painful action will supercede the inclination to comfortably forget but I doubt it.

It looks like air conditioning and climate immigration will sadly be our first response.
