There's a heat wave this weekend near Seattle where I live. Saturday and Sunday have highs around 88 and Monday is like 85. June has a reputation here for being cold and rainy. There's not a single drop of rain in the forecast this upcoming week or the one after.
If this summer is anything like the last two, we won't get a single drop until October.
I can handle a lot of things. Even the fall of democracy in the USA. Because those horrible things are tangible and solvable. We can always have a revolution. That will suck, but it's doable.
Climate change has me in a funk that just won't quit. Nothing makes me want to give up more than this. This awful hot summer will be the coolest summer for the rest of my life. I can't deal with something this hopeless.
