When the rain started, it felt different. It sounded different too. It was like the sky was emptying everything it had, so intense was the constant pounding. There was another difference from the old days: it didn’t stop.The term “heavy rain” has been replaced by a new one: atmospheric river. It’s a long strand of moisture that has travelled from the tropics to mid-latitude locations like Canada. And they are freighted with water, so much so that the downpours can last for days.
As our climate has changed, so has The Globe’s coverage of the environment, something I discovered in researching for my essay. As I wrote in Our Nation’s Paper, The Globe has often, but not always, been a strong advocate for the changes proposed by our best scientific minds to help the environment confront everything from DDT to acid rain to what was once a giant hole in our ozone layer.
