The City of Boston has just released its “Climate Projections Consensus.”  It’s not a pretty picture.  Here are the lowlights:

• Average summer temperatures will be 4-5 degrees F. warmer by 2050

• Even with “moderate” emissions reductions, see level rise is likely to be between 1.5 feet and 2.5 feet by 2070.

• The number of “extreme precipitation” events has been increasing and that increase will continue.

On this day after the Brexit, one wishes that we could just take a vote to leave.  Unfortunately, as Ben Franklin said, I think we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
