By d. emerson eddy — It's ridiculously hot here right now. 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), not including the humidity. We've thankfully got air conditioning, but it's little comfort when there are rolling brownouts or you're a little furry beast with no sweat glands. Although muggy humid summers aren't abnormal here, the heights the temperatures are reaching are, especially as they're reaching to higher latitudes. It just brings to mind yet another struggle we have underlying all of the other current problems surrounding us. There are some stories out there promoting current proactive activism, some exploring what's going on while a dramatic change occurs, and others set long after the “apocalypse” hits.
