The climate catastrophes keep coming this summer, and the super-heated oceans have yet to super-charge a hurricane.

Besides a couple days of poor air quality due to wildfires in Canada, the worst to happen here so far is unrelenting humidity. Whoever put a “dehumidify” setting on air conditioners saved our furniture from becoming soaked with my ass sweat.

If the term “wet bulb” is new to you, you’re not the only one. I first heard it this year and it’s basically a way to describe relative humidity and dew points to children and stupid people in a more scientific way than a “feels like” temperature.

The northern hemisphere is engulfed in record-breaking heatwaves, reservoirs are drying up, and nothing seriously addressing climate is coming out of DC within my lifetime.

So I self-soothed by finally embracing 5″ inseams and tank tops. Maybe all that extra unsightly pasty skin will force Congress to act.

We’re about to get a nor’easter this weekend, so I’m not optimistic about what the groundhog’s gonna say next week. In fact, I’m not optimistic about anything, except that I’ll get to go snowshoeing this weekend.

The week began with the IPCC’s dire report about climate change. And my Nib cartoon for the week also covered it:

 I know defeatism is not cool and we’re supposed to take this warning to be spurred into demanding action from our government, but have you met our government?

We’re living in the disaster right now, and Biden is urging OPEC to pump more oil. Not sure the Sunrise Movement is on that fossil’s agenda.

Now I’m off to endure the third or fourth heat wave of Boston’s summer.

Pretty neat that every cable subscription underwrites Murdoch’s trash that’s been undermining democracy for 25+ years.

As for actual weather news, my phone’s been telling me to prepare for lots of flooding tomorrow due to Elsa’s remnants. If that’s the worst weather we get this summer, I’ll consider myself lucky.

Secondary Climate Emergencies

We just had a lengthy heat wave here in Boston. This year’s droughts are going to make last year’s wildfires look like nothing. New records for carbon in the atmosphere are being set every week.

And the infrastructure bill that may or may not happen is having all climate mitigation efforts stripped out of it.

Oh, yeah, and the pandemic is still not under control, despite what it feels like here in America.

See you next week with more jokes!

You know Joe Kennedy LMNOPXYZ is to the right of Senator Ed Markey when half of the establishment already endorsed his primary challenge while I’m in favor of the incumbent.

Here’s a cartoon I did for The Nib when Prince Joe first entered the race.

I hope Hyannisport has enough boats for when the Kennedy Compound floods.
