You go to the coffee shop and peripherally take in the endless chatter by customers about whom and what they are consuming, and then you read “When Will New York City Sink?” by Andrew Rice in New York Magazine, and marvel at the folly of people’s refusal to see beyond the bridge of their own nose.
And you also look at the supposedly savvy political skills of Hillary Clinton, and wonder why she is not clobbering Trump about his deranged dismissal of the reality of catastrophic climate change, even as it is already happening all around us.
