Just in case you had not yet been swayed by the scientific consensus on the reality of climate change, you need only look at the weather we've seen this winter for evidence. Ice storms in Texas? Temperate weather in Chicago? February tornadoes in New Jersey for the first time since 1999? Something is not quite right here.
Huge swaths of the country are now bracing for a historic snowstorm, the potential consequences of which underscore the price of climate change. From supply chain disruptions to the likely surge in insurance claims the storm will leave in its wake, the snow is going to cost us.
Our advice? Stay warm, stay safe, and settle in with some reading that can help you better weather the world left behind after the thaw.
