To the editor:

Notice the heat? July 3 was Earth’s hottest day on record. That record was tied the next day and broken the following day. Possibly the warmest in “at least 100,000 years,” pronounced scientists at Woodwell Climate Research Center (formerly Woods Hole Research Center). Warmer weather is likely to produce heavier rainfall, and we’re seeing that as well: a statewide flood watch; rains washing out roads in the Monadnock region; crops destroyed across Connecticut River Valley farms, and a state of emergency in Vermont causing hundreds of evacuations.
