https://www.sightline.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/IMAG0108.jpg24483264Today's Seattle Times' headline seemed to say it all: Our new 'normal' weather: wetter and warmer. At last, I thought, a front page story on the very real impacts of climate change in our region. Things start off great. The article acknowledges scientific certainty that average temperatures in Washington have risen half a degree. Yes, it acknowledges that the United States has seen a 1.5 degree increase over the last thirty years. Yes, it says: if you're among the people who feels like Seattle is getting warmer, you're right. Things are getting wetter and weirder.
