Newsmaker of the Year 2021
Mother Nature
Mother Nature continued to trend toward the extreme over the past year. Arctic Temperatures in Texas. Mediterranean temperatures in the Arctic. Record rainfalls and flooding in Canada’s wettest province. Record Heatwaves (July 2021 was the “world’s” hottest month on record). Oh, and don’t forget the Record droughts, the killer tornadoes appearing later (in December?!) and touching down for longer than ever before, and the host of other natural disasters super-spreading across the globe. Alas, Earth’s ultimate influencer, is still no match for the ongoing cacophony of gorilla dust being raised by the climate denial movement with their army of online influencers, trolls, and lobbyists who will continue to punch well above their weight class until the day they climb (or are flooded) out of their parents’ basements, caves and/or arseholes into what may well be their first (and last) taste of life in the “real” world. Until that day, there is Noah telling what it’s going to take to drown those guys out.
