From the Pacific Northwest, I am so sorry. I feel your pain. Summer now is just scary and horrible.

But increased carbon dioxide results in a warmer, greener and wetter climate.

What’s behind the crisis in the Solomon Islands?Honiara is on fire, the local school has been looted, rioters have torched a timber company and protesters have vandalised dozens of Chinese-owned businesses. So, what’s the cause of the conflict? And why is Australia involved? | EXPLAINERS ... Of course, no mention of the constant drum of anti-China hysteria (some would say 'propaganda,' but I will be charitable) from the Australian TV shows that are broadcasted on FTA TV there for the past two or three years. I'm sure that had nothing to do with it all... Who loots a school? Honestly
