Climate Change 

The Trump Administration is at it again.  It is hiding legally mandated climate reports from the public.  Trump has called climate change a hoax and has already backtracked on numerous activities to combat it.  Apparently by hiding the reports it spares him from answering embarrassing questions about increasingly violent weather. What citizens don't know won't hurt them.  Transparency be damned.  This is yet another coverup by an authoritarian government, which will do real harm.  It's shameful and infuriating.

At Last 

At last, President Trump appears to be coming around to the view that Putin has been playing him over Ukraine. Trump is now releasing much-needed weapons to the country.  What took him so long when observers saw it from the beginning? Our president seems to be a slow learner.

Phony 

 This is a phony, blatantly outrageous excuse for slamming Canada with a 35% tariff. Trump is going out of his way to wreck foreign relations.   All in pursuit of illusory power...

Communications Challenge 

How do you convince people of climate change and the extreme weather events that come with it?  This is the communications challenge faced by weather services.  It's not going to be easy.  People live in a bubble.  They think it can't happen to me until it does.  What is needed is a new behavior of climate awareness and what can happen whether fires or floods and preparation for both.  We're nowhere near that goal.

He's Learning 

Trump is learning that Putin can't be trusted.  What took him so long?  Biden knew that from the beginning.  Could it be this self-promoting dealmaker has met a person with whom he can't negotiate?

Resistance 

Los Angeles has turned into a model of resistance to ICE raids on immigrants.  It's the people telling the Trump administration to back off. Americans should be proud of them.

Why? 

Why do people persist in building in flood zones?  What is the quirk in the human mind that says a flood can't happen to me?  Why are they shocked when it happens?  It turns out several Texas camps along the Guadalupe River are in flood zones and they were ravaged by the downpour on July 4.  Blame is being passed around freely but no one yet is saying the camps never should have been built next to the river in the first place.
