Strange, Ominous, and Unreal

A storm is coming. A political storm, an economic storm, a global storm of catastrophic climate change consequences, an existential storm that will rage from the shores of America to the Pacific Rim, from the steppes of Eurasia to the oil fields of the Middle East, from the vanishing ice cap of the polar north to the vanishing ice cap of the polar south and everywhere in between.
