The Change in the Weather...

This video series is taking a short break while Dr Moffic travels. For now, enjoy the rerun of this video with updated commentary.

Here we are in the midst of the Republican Convention right here in Milwaukee, and climate instability is escalating: increasing heat, earlier and earlier hurricanes, and devastating fires. If there is another Republican administration, will it pivot to more concern with our climate and environment? Rusti sings out that there has definitely been a change in the weather and I proclaim that it is a public health emergency.
