Admin help

Due to circumstances related tangentially to the pandemic, the very small company I work for is quite short-handed at the moment, which has led to me working six to seven days a week for the past two months.

Re: Freaky weather

Re: Freaky weather

Climate change, my friend. It all comes back to climate change.
Hurricanes feed on heat in the ocean. As the oceans warm, storms get stronger and more frequent.
