The Freakiest, No-Snow Winter Ever

Posted: 18 Jan 2012 08:26 AM PST

Last year at this time, I cursed the day I decided to make my home in Boston because the snow and ice were so severe that I thought I wouldn’t make it through the winter. This year, it’s the opposite. Our fall was warm, our winter has been relatively warm, and, except for a freak Halloween storm, we have had virtually no snowfall.

Yet, I’m still not content. Don’t get me wrong: I am thrilled to death that we don’t have to contend with snow. But the freaky occurrences around the world that signal global climate change are too blatant to ignore. The fierce hurricanes, the failing crops in the Southern Hemisphere, off-the-charts levels of pollen, icebergs crumbling, and other catastrophic events are like death throes.

Have you ever seen someone die? It doesn’t often happen suddenly. No. It’s erratic. Their temperature is high, then it’s low. They have an appetite, then they don’t. They are alert, then they’re not. Same with climate change. Erratic. And scary.
