Climate change has been particularly unsettling this summer because it has felt like a constant reminder that it can't be escaped. Even if you aren't in Florida or Arizona or Greenland, even if you feel like you're insulated up in Vermont or Canada -- bam, 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.

Ah yes, Canada… that place a few hours north of Vermont.

Sorry, came here to joke about the headline — over here in the west we haven’t seen any real rain in months.

Which is itself a problem.
