It hit home for me in a new way about 20 minutes ago as I talked to a close friend, whose mother just called because her house had been flooded in Winona, Minnesota. Someone came to the door in the middle of the night and told her to get out. At least four people have been killed and the flooding went all the way up to the second floor. Shocked and hurt by the news, I went on CNN's website to read about it and found news that Hurricane Dean has reached a category 4 and that the recent Southeast and Midwest heat wave has killed 44 people in the last two weeks. I am absolutely opposed to alarmism and recognize that disasters like these have been happening for millenia, but we do know that climate change is making them more frequent and more devastating. There is something to be said for feeling the gravity and emotion of a problem when it hits home. This is more than anything a human issue for me right now. Thank you for this post, Carlos.

Some scientists think that within 5 years, the Arctic will be ice-free during the summers. I forgot to mention that Arctic sea ice will reach a record low this September (it already has).
