Global Warming

Global warming has produced a rise in temperatures both on land and at sea. The latter has raised water levels and also resulted in the diminution and destruction of shorelines and beaches; it has also affected the Gulf Stream and El Niño and extended the hurricane season--something which has had particularly dire consequences in the Southeast. A side effect has also been the prevalence of particularly destructive tornadoes all across the US. A number of towns outside Omaha were recently flattened by such meteorological events. Many Americans have gotten used to seeing rising waves as auguring further destruction in the form of tsunamis. Positive energy in the form of huge crowds is something one has come to associate with MAGA Republicans and their historic fascist antecedents. The Kamala Harris Tim Walz ticket is the first positive experience  of "warming," global or otherwise that Gen Z has ever experienced. In this sense it may be greeted with a mixture of awe but also suspicion. It's hard to believe that the  the masses have finally landed on something worthy and helpful, they can also believe in.
