As another week slowly passes us by, and another suffocating heat wave breaks, we are still no closer to joining the rest of the developed world when it comes to scientific data.

When science warns of the worst that can happen, that prospect is not to be dismissed and ridiculed. Far from it. In fact, the intelligent plan is this-

Always prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

As a country, and overall, as a species, we are falling woefully short on that crucial 1st part.
