Perfumed Air
My last post complained of not enuf snow. To be fair, this winter, we've had plenty & got plenty more, right after I wrote that. But I'm greedy and anxious because I know this won't last. As Andrew Revkin wrote in the Times today, it's a perceptual mirage in an ocean of data and reveling in the snow part, just encourages the skeptics to stall the rest of us on addressing the real urgency, as Revkin points out in a quote from the atmospheric scientist Michael Schlesinger, U Illinois.

Maybe the candidates don't want to engage in the intricacies of the discussion with people who point to snow & scoff. Either that means we really are as stupid as they think we are, or their commitments to a green future are pretty shallow. Or both
