2/24/21: New research from Germany supports the idea that climate change is here and that many changes are going to be problematic.
According to a study in the journal Frontiers in Allergy (light reading for any bathroom) certain pollen species have begun their seasons as much as two days earlier, per year, over the last three decades.
This meshes with studies in the U.S. and Canada, which
indicate that the pollen season has been extended by as much as twenty days over
the same period. Or, as Dr. Rita Kachru, a specialist at UCLA Health in
California explained, pollen season “used to start in March, now we’re
finding it’s starting in mid-February and it can go all the way to May. That
spring season, which is predominantly tree pollen, often will go even longer.
It’ll go to even early June.”

A costly, deregulated power system in Texas.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL reports that Texas consumers have paid an extra $28 billion in the last twenty years, for electricity supplied to homes and businesses under the deregulated system preferred in that state.
Then, when a storm knocked out much of the state’s power grid, the
companies and politicians tried to blame the failure on Democrats and the Green
New Deal. They didn’t offer to give the extra $28 billion back, however.
