The weather, currently.

Alright, summer lovers, your mid 80s are right around the corner. But! Thursday will be the type of day to satisfy those wanting fall and those still craving summer. It’s going to be rather perfect.

Are you ready? Are your plans in place? 78°F. Partly sunny. Invigorating breeze. I mean, this day is all upside. Plus, it’s almost Friday. So yeah, soak it up. Breathe it in. Feel the possibility! Hope you have a great day!

What you can do, currently.

A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.

Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
