     I remember from years back a study of how the “tiny percentage” of the Amazon rain forest that had been cleared was much, much worse than it sounded. The aerial view showed roads feathered out through the forest, an obvious mechanism for more people to gain access to more land for clearing. It’s analogous to a “path of infection” invading a living organ.

   “As greenhouse gases continue to rise globally, heat spells of this severity are an unfortunate reality that Californians will increasingly have to get used to, they say.”

     Unfortunately, “getting used to” means abandoning large portions of the state. It’s only a question of when.

   112 here. I’ve lived in Topanga for nearly 30 years. It’s never been this hot.

   “heat spells of this severity are an unfortunate reality that Californians will increasingly have to get used to” Well that’s a positive spin, if ever. The increasing should be before severity.
