Historians may look to 2015 as the year when shit really started hitting the fan. Some snapshots: In just the past few months, record-setting heat waves in Pakistan and India each killed more than 1,000 people. In Washington state's Olympic National Park, the rainforest caught fire for the first time in living memory. London reached 98 degrees Fahrenheit during the hottest July day ever recorded in the U.K.; The Guardian briefly had to pause its live blog of the heat wave because its computer servers overheated. In California, suffering from its worst drought in a millennium, a 50-acre brush fire swelled seventyfold in a matter of hours, jumping across the I-15 freeway during rush-hour traffic. Then, a few days later, the region was pounded by intense, virtually unheard-of summer rains. Puerto Rico is under its strictest water rationing in history as a monster El Niño forms in the tropical Pacific Ocean, shifting weather patterns worldwide.

3. And no one is really doing anything.

We are caught in a for-profit downward spiral that is going to destroy the habitat that supports us.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man...

4. Like I have been saying...

nothing will change until it effects the members of our government directly.

Until they are walking around in hip boots in the houses of congress, maybe only then something will change.

but alas, the repubs will just say, "It's always been this way".
