    My local ski resort is 5 feet of snow behind same time last year.

    There are people walking around in t-shirts in Colorado in January.

    But one collapsing jetstream and polar vortex later and suddenly it’s “WhAt HaPpEnEd To GlObAl WaRmInG” shit as if local weather were the same as global climate.

    But hey, shame on me for expecting the PRESIDENT OF THE (allegedly) UNITED STATES to understand something as basic as “the world is big and connected and changing.”

      Things being connected at all seems way too complex for people to understand.

      Everyone is twelve now and our systems-based thinking has suffered as a result. I hate it here and I hate the Antichrist.
