What people are experiencing in the Pacific Northwest now is not just a heatwave; it’s a new normal that’s been foretold by climate scientists for quite a while. It will bring with it other disasters also foretold. Neither major political party has been willing to forestall it.

Never let a good crisis or hot weather go to waste, eh?. If it’s hot it’s “man made climate change” but if it’s unusually cold and rainy it’s just “weather”. Marketing melon politics 101!! Melon = green on outside but socialist red inside !

Regardless of your view of AGH. UW climatologists say the heatdome we are experiencing is a result of 6 different weather phenomenon occurring simultaneously. Like rolling all 6s with 6 dice. Hence, record heat. If this happened 50 years ago, we'd have similar results.

List every issue that’s more important than saving the planet and have someone run on that platform.

"New normal", Marianne? Starting tomorrow, how many Portland daily high temperatures of 115F do you expect over the following decade?

The Cascadia megaquake and tsunami is due anytime now. We should be reinforcing all the buildings, houses and infrastructure and preparing for the worst. youtube.com/watch?v=76b_WGzC…
