Healthcare, the climate and other interesting things
Move over healthcare concerns, the planet is burning up
Whyisamericanhealthcaresoexpensive--has a new look!
The easiest way to make sure people who actually want to read my blog can find it is to make a website. Which could be fun! So here it is. The photo above is me, posing next to the Zaraf River in South Sudan at sunset. It was really hot. Probably 92 degrees F and 80% humidity. Average temperatures in East Africa have increased by over 2 degrees in the last 100 years, over twice what the world has seen overall. This website has plenty of room for a little climate activism!
Time to talk about the climate...
The Climate is Changing
We need to be working on limiting greenhouse gas emissions, sequestering carbon and preparing for a generally hotter world. But it's not necessarily the heat. Sometimes it will be floods or harsh winters. Old Fangak, South Sudan, including where I was standing, has now been underwater for a year.
