So it's rather warm outside today. But it's also been a very rainy month: It rained 15 out of the first 20 days of June, in fact. What gives? Instead of taking the easy path and checking in with, say, weatherman Sam Champion on Twitter, Vanity Fair did one better and called up a MIT-trained physicist who analyzed climate change patterns for the Clinton administration. Impressive! We can't say we understood his explanation for why it's been the way it's been. But this we did understand one thing he said quite clearly: "It's going to get a lot worse." So, yes, you'll be carrying suntan lotion and earmuffs with you pretty soon. [VF]
