I live in Marondera, and I have to say to those people who don’t believe we have global warming– Come up here.
People who live up here will tell you that the summers used to be wonderful. Nothing above 30 degrees, and always a cool breeze. Nights that are perfect for sleeping.
A few summers ago we started getting weather that was warmer than usual, days with temperatures in the high 40’s. This year? Since the middle of June we’ve had 36 degree weather four days out of five, and today it’s in the 50’s. Next week it is supposed to go over 60!
All the hardware stores are out of air conditioners. Tv Sales and Home got three shipments sold out and they say they aren’t getting any more. We’ve never had an air conditioner– we never needed one. I don’t like air conditioners: nasty noisy things. But it looks like now we either get one, or move to Gweru.

In Germany, France, and Spain, that number approaches 30 percent. NATO was built on the premise that Europe …
- Nuclear Bomb DominoIran’s nuclear facilities were bombed. The IAEA says the sites weren’t destroyed. Iran still holds 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium. The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk says Iran’s capacity was “marginally degraded” but the incentives to go nuclear have “gone through the roof.” Iran goes nuclear.

- The Nuclear Treaty Expired QuietlyNew START was the last nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia. It limited both countries to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads each. It required inspections. It required verification. Basically, it was the single remaining guardrail on a combined arsenal capable of ending human civilization several times over. It expired on February 4, 2026. There was no replacement or any negotiations. There was …
- 85 SecondsThe Doomsday Clock started in 1947. It was created by the scientists who built the atomic bomb. These are people who understood exactly what they had made and were terrified of it. For seventy-nine years they have moved that clock forward and backward based on how close the world is to ending itself. In 1991, when the Cold War ended, they moved it back to …
