We recently had a note from a friend in Oregon and another in BC, Canada telling of the record highs, unprecedentedly hot weather in regions normally much less hot.

We shouldn't be surprised because climate experts have been warning for many years about the likelihood - inevitability - of extremes, storms etc. with more of them and more frequently.

Some folk look forward to global warming meaning less cold winters but that's just a snippet of the many changes that will come about. Even if humankind could immediately stop the activities that are affecting our climate the effects of previous years are baked into the system. The next few years, perhaps decades or longer, will see changes unprecedented in modern-history; they're inevitable and the details can't be totally or accurately forecast.

Humankind faces many difficult times and the start of them is already evident...
