and just buckle down and do what's got to be done to save this planet and our environment.

One bit of good news: at least the US and China have both agreed to join the Paris Accords. Now if our recalcitrant Senate will just ratify the treaty....fingers crossed for taking back the Senate in November.

Only down 15k sq km yesterday from Monday so it probably won't be dropping much more. Still, will finish as the second or third (pretty close to 2007 now) extent on record.
