Even More from the Mailbag

I am taking this in, slowly,
Taking it into my body.
This grief. How slow
The body is to realize
You are never coming back.

Hi Guy,

Just reading today’s Washington Post article about the heat wave at the North Pole — clearly not news for you. Despite the grim news, I feel comforted by the fact that you have prepared me for this reality. I’ve often wondered about the timeline you present, but then I see articles like this and I realize how right you are.

You know this is a very unpopular topic, so I really can’t discuss it with anyone other than you.

XOXO
“Jane”

 

Dearest “Jane,”

I doubt many medical doctors receive thanks for providing a terminal diagnosis. You’re welcome?

The president of Finland has been filling the airways with talk of an ice-free Arctic leading to our demise. I suspect we’re on track for that event this summer. Civilization might make it until next summer based on stored grains. Or not.

…

Big hugs,
Guy

This message is typical. I receive similar messages weekly. Apparently my work has merit, notwithstanding comments from trolls, deniers, and paid climate scientists.
