Warm
Despite the short-lived blizzard in Chicago this week, it was 70 degrees in New Jersey today. In Maine we've had light rain for two days that should have been snow.
The fishermen say the ocean temps last week were 48 degrees, unheard of warm for up here and the lobsters were gone to colder waters by October. The Supreme Court says the issue of enforcing EPA standards comes down to pinpointing where & when the cataclysm will happen to confirm "standing" to prove injury.
It reminds me of any garden variety case over rape or domestic violence a few years back. Where is the harm? The victim has not gotten any broken bones or isn't dead yet so where is the real harm or danger? Come in and complain when we have habeus corpus: the dead body. A little late by then isn't it? The harm is in the incidence of asthma and lost species.
People see what they want to see. As an artist, how to make them see the harm? By asking them to pay attention.
