The Climate Charts Are Not Okay
Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

That's not really the concern here, unless you're living in India, the middle East, or Africa, or whatever. There's a lot worse consequences coming for us than a bit of heat around equator regions.
