The thermometer is showing 68F today. It’s December 3, people. WTF?
The worst part is that the air conditioning is off on campus and it’s impossible to teach. The students are visibly distressed, some find it hard to breathe, and I’m sweating like a stuck pig. Today is the day for student evaluations in 3 of my courses, and I want the students to take their time filling them out. But that won’t happen because all they want to do is leave the stuffy classroom. And I can’t say I blame them.
I also have the oral presentations by my independent researchers to attend today, and I had prepared a killer outfit, the centerpiece of which were my red boots. Of course, the outfit had to be shelved because nobody can wear boots in this weather.
In the meanwhile, some lucky bastards in Montreal have already had snow.

Climate change, which increases average temperatures. Days like this will become more common.
And since they deny the reality of global warming, American conservatism (including glibertarianism) qualifies, in the long term, as the world’s most dangerous ideology.

This is one thing that really scares me. Climate change coupled with an instant-gratification mentality that is incapable of imagining long-term consequences. And once these consequences become impossible for everybody to ignore, it will be too late to do anything.

Oh, the snow has started!!! I wouldn’t even have noticed it because I rarely see the homepage of the blog, so thanks for telling me.
At least, it snows someplace.
