Beyond Irony

Here are two headlines that appeared in today’s Times on the same page:  “States Fight Obama’s Climate Plan, but Quietly Prepare to Comply,” and “Temperatures Are on Course for Another Record Year.”

The first article noted that 27 states , almost all with Republican governors and legislators, have sued to block the President’s climate plan.  They oppose the plan’s move away from coal-fired plants.

The second article noted that the Arctic sea ice was melting at a record pace.  According to NASA, January 2016 was the hottest January since 1880, and that trend has continued for each month through June.

Remember how people said dinosaurs couldn’t adapt.  Dinosaurs lasted for millions of years.
