what climate?

Death and destruction in the wake of Ida - all across the northeast here in the United States. The storm's tail lashed out - all wild and heavy handed - bringing high floods and causing havoc late evening and early morning, on September 1 and 2.

That Grrr! feeling of Lt. Dan - defiant as he cursed the heavens, up on a matchstick mast, lost in a vast ocean in the movie Forrest Gump. Puny human against the raw elements at the height of a sea tempest.

Not enough to make a dent in climate change since we have been way too misbehaved before we were forced to, although this could not have been timelier.
