I love cucumbers! They are hydrating and keep your blood pressure in check. Sitting at ground zero for the Mid-Terms in the battleground State of Arizona, my blood pressure remains "iffy". What I find alarming is why the race for Governor between election denier & Trump clone Kari Lake and current Sect of State Katie Hobbs is too close to call.

While I am happy that Az is ultimately rejecting the normalization of evil by most Right-Wing Candidates, there are still millions in Az that embrace the White Nationalist agenda. The counting continues by our heroic poll workers, and I remain hopeful.

Like you Alex I have hope for our future not only in politics but in global climate change initiatives. In these times when truth and news are pliable, thank you for using science driven data to arrive at fact-based conclusions.

This is excellent writing!

Worthy of any major periodical. Everything you’ve written is on point and brilliantly articulated.

As an American, I feel immensely gratified by the outcome of midterms and still holding out hope for that very slim path for victory in the House. You’re right that the Republicans may have inadvertently done democracy a favor by showing the opposing sides of the two parties. Hopefully, President Biden’s speech about democracy may have been a catalyst for thought.

The climate part of your article is highly worrying indeed. I hope COP27 ends more favorably than most recent ones. The US commitment to climate goals is uplifting, I hope it prevails.

Thank you for this extraordinary piece and congratulations on fine writing.

As always, facts and realities are in a credible and simple reading. Each subject with an essential, assertive and thoughtful approach, without spills or unnecessary deviations. Excellent. Let's hope common sense prevails on all emerging issues.

As an observer and conscientious participant of the urgent changes to make, I thank you for your tireless work.
