Over the past several years, increasingly destructive hurricanes, wildfires, blizzards, and other extreme weather events have made it clear that the effects of climate change aren’t some future hypothetical, but our current reality. Not to be outdone, the summer of 2023 has been coming in hot — literally — with July shattering the record for the planet’s hottest month, and coming to a close with “numerous fires” breaking out in the Arctic circle. And while the recent high temperatures and debilitating humidity may not be responsible for as much property damage as a hurricane, it’s been disastrous for our mental health.
