Climate change is undeniable

Editor:

Things are not as they used to be. I will not lie to you as people with Asperger’s syndrome are say-what-you-mean and mean-what-you-say kind of people, and above all they don’t lie.

I’ve been listening to my personal astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, who by “auditioning” standup comics for a sidekick to make his YouTube stuff even more entertaining found a great one who adds a level of levity.

The cover article of the July/August issue of Scientific American is titled, “Is Greenland Collapsing?” It’s 14 pages of detail with pictures. Suffice it to say one of the researchers is worried, stating, “I have, for the first time ever in my career, data sets that take my sleep away at night.”

He is referring to the scientific fact that Greenland’s melting is accelerating and that much of the megalopolis of New York City won’t be livable when ocean levels rise just 10 feet — and the rise will be 24 feet at full melt.

Our winters are getting shorter. Have a nice day.
