Nearly two dozen cattle died in Nebraska, more than 100 Missouri nursing home residents were evacuated and an ice cream shop in Iowa was forced to close as record-shattering heat engulfs more than 20 states.

    This is not the new normal. It’s important to understand that. Next year, it’s going to be worse. And then the year after that, it’s going to be worse. And then it’s going to be worse. And worse. And worse.

    The actual “new normal” is escalating change. More storms. More floods. More sea levels rising. More heat waves. More fires. More hurricanes. More, more, more.

    Don’t like it? Stop voting for politicians who don’t believe climate change is real.

    But gosh, a fast-talking con artist with a name I couldn’t pronounce just told me that climate change was a hoax!

    Not sure it’s a good idea to keep cows and make ice cream in a nursing home anyway

      When I am old enough to live in a nursing home I want definitely one that has an ice cream parlour.

        I am going to trip my tits off in my retirement home, genuinely looking forward to it
