It is getting difficult for me to ignore the fact that weather is becoming stranger than it used to be. Storms are more intense, hurricanes more frequent, and surprisingly unseasonal days are growing ever less surprising.
All of this is happening gradually, and that might make it a little harder to notice. To use an analogy: If you are suddenly plunged into hot water, you tend to notice. But if somebody gradually turns up the temperature in your bath, it can take a while for you you to catch on to what is happening.
I have a feeling that we are in hot water.
