Is climate change among the villains behind our weird weather? That was an interesting read on the editorial page of Oct. 2.

What is more interesting is that the letter was written by two career health care professionals who, by some apparent act of osmosis, are also global climate experts. Maybe the doctor and the nurse received the same divine infusion of climate knowledge that the blessed Hollywood entertainment folks did.

I wonder when NOAA and NASA career employees will start writing articles on internal medicine.
