Heat waves: Is this climate change?

I want to be honest, it’s way too warm and I actually don’t want to write at all. The heat makes me slow in the head. Actually I only want one thing right now: Go to the lake, get out of these clothes and into the water to cool down. Instead, I’m writing about a […]
