Figuring out what kind
of car to buy on Cars.com
is straightforward, but us
humans are messy bags
of flesh, full
of ego, bias and emotional detritus that makes the job
of pairing us up with
life partners (and to some extent one - night stands) seemingly impossible.
As hard as it might
be to suss out the impact
of extreme weather in 2017, yet harder
is sussing out the impact
of the changing climate, now and in the future — due to the difficulty
of tying individual weather events to epochal changes like global warming, the inability
of headline economic figures to capture the
messy fullness
of human life, and the inadequacy
of the available data to measure changes in the natural and the economic world.
