Clouds, climate change, crop insurance, and the fall of civilizations

I write today, as I usually do, from my couch. The apartment is dark and warm. There was a rain shower earlier, but the cool, humid air outside has not yet dispersed the thick air inside. It doesn’t help that earlier I blanched some root vegetables, sending plumes of steam into the apartment. But the rain has at least watered my tomato and pepper plants.
