Its warming up and getting windier.And breaking all previous records. Quoting: SickScent Oh Good God. "All-Time Record High Temperature" previously set in the late seventies, early eighties? No previous records before the last paltry, measly 30 or 40 years? Give me a break. This tunnel vision about lengths of time and our myopic, pathetically limited perception of events in comparison to vast spans of historical and geological time, drives me nuts.
