it's hot out there!

There's nothing like a high country, mountain stream fed lake with cold, chilly water on a hot, hot summer day! But I don't really want to talk about the small pond in the above pictures but the global weather patterns that are wrecking havoc on the populace and their collective morale.

If certain people are still in denial about climate change, I hope they read more widely, watch the news and just observe for themselves. It's colder where it's supposed to be cold and hotter where it's supposed to be hot and more hurricanes are forecast for our future.

Where is this planet heading for? Self-destruction? - caused by us? can this trend be reversed? is it too late? This is a hot topic, no doubt.

How long is it going to stay hot? any predictions?
