Climate Grief? Seriously?

The Advocate today in its Living Section had yet another story regarding Climate Change.   It's a daily dose of guilt and shame in an effort to give Government more power & control.   There is a reason I call them ALARMISTS and part of that is over exaggeration.  In fact, they have scared the younger generation into what now called by Psychiatrists "climate distress or climate grief or climate anxiety or eco-anxiety".   Of course homelessness or hunger or poverty is not as important as saving the Planet.    I was watching a story on Ch. 8 tonight where a worker said..." I don't remember it being this warm before."   That's because he was too young to remember the Summer of 1980 where Dallas had 42 straight days of highs 100+ and NOLA had the whole month of July 95+. That's 39 year ago.  What has changed is the night time lows are warmer making the daily averages higher.  More people = more cities = more urban heat islands.  Yes, more people are changing the Earth's climate, but it's not because of CO2.     To have anxiety about the future should be focused on what we can change, instead of what we can't change.

We have one more day of "extreme Heat" before clouds and showers increase for Wednesday & Thursday.  We'll see if models continue to show some development along a frontal boundary that might make it into the Gulf late Thursday.  Still uncertain that will happen.  Stay tuned!
