Weather shows need to stop pollution

Climate change is causing all kinds of weird weather in Chicago. It currently feels more like spring than summer, with the cold snaps and rain.

All through the bitterly cold Chicago winters, I dream of the hot humidity that with this summer still has not come.

With climate change throwing our seasons out of order I hope that by December, when the United Nations will be meeting in Copenhagen to create a new global agreement on climate change, the U.S. will have policies at home that invest heavily in renewable energy and put strict, science-based limits on pollution with no loopholes or giveaways for big polluters like the coal industry.
