I just read that this past June broke all records world-wide for heat – in fact, it was the hottest decade ever recorded since 1870, when scientists started monitoring weather patterns. Here in Mazatlán, though, it’s kind of been the opposite – cooler than normal – and only yesterday the temperatures and humidity started to soar. Global warming, global cooling: It’s all related, and in the bigger scope of things, much more significant than the daily temperature in our little part of the planet. With the release of the "State of the Climate" report, compiled annually by more than 300 top scientists from 48 countries, headlines everywhere are screaming that there’s no doubt global warming exists and is a rapidly growing problem for all of us, everywhere. Water supply, agriculture, health and specifically coastal cities are most susceptible – or already experiencing – deleterious effects of this climate change.
