What the public is missing is that the beginning of winter is just a few months away, and this winter is likely to be very cold and costly in lives lost, lost productivity, and emergency expenses.
What are the odds of a very cold winter in 2023-24? Several factors are involved.
This year's prediction is for a winter that is "Colder and wetter" in the eastern half of the country and extremely cold in the central U.S., while New England and New York will be snowy and bitterly cold.
What will this year's cold, wet winter do to the ordinary American? Biden has driven electricity rates up by 30% on average, so whatever happens, this winter will be costlier.
How much planning has gone into dealing with the possibility of a colder than expected winter? So far as I can tell from White House news releases and presidential remarks, none.
The likelihood of a cold, dark, wet winter filled with death, disease, heavy snowfalls, vehicular deaths, and higher heating bills, and higher bills for everything else, isn't something to ignore, but the Biden administration seems to ignore every rational threat - like China, for example - while exploiting every irrational danger, like "Boiling" climate change.
Biden won't say it, so I'll say it for him: prepare for a long and costly winter - the kind Shakespeare, who knew a lot about the cold, describes in many of his plays, including King Lear, Richard III, and Hamlet.
