...But as a climate reporter, I’ve started to think about an added season of the year. The effects of climate change are felt year-round, but there’s a heightened set of months when it seems to become omnipresent and un-ignorable. It is the Bad Season. And we are right in the middle of it.

...The Bad Season means millions of people staying inside on what could be one of the most brilliant weekends of the year. But it also means that this American scorcher comes on the heels of a record-breaking heatwave in western Europe, where France recorded temperatures above 113 degrees Fahrenheit (or 45 degrees Celsius) for the first time ever. It means summertime forest fires in California are eight times larger now than they were in the early 1970s. It means Chennai, a city of 10 million, is nearly out of water. It means even Arctic ice at the far north of Greenland turns to slush unnavigable by sled dog.

This is the Bad Season. It means that a heat wave is never just a heat wave, but a symptom of a larger problem and a warning about what’s to come.

1. This is a warning--a bleak picture of what is to come starting this summer and #Trump will

ignore it.

2. Agree. Also, the GOP is a 100% climate change denial party

They have tried to destroy the science and deny reality. I hope people remember this in the years to come. Like hatrack’s sig line says “ belief in climate change is optional but participation will be mandatory.”

3. Climate Change is coming

This is what we are getting due to our own doing. This is the saddest reality we are facing.
