Neither article asks why the Republicans suddenly switched from climate science to batshit crazy climate science denial. I think the primary reason for the sudden (in just 4 years) switch is the infusion of millions of dollars from totally batshit crazy billionaires like the Koch Brothers into the GOP campaign coffers.

Our Fracking Gashole Governor is a dirty energy warrior
“This is a last ditch effort by dirty energy to eliminate green energy by flooding the energy market with cheap gas.” Mark Ruffalo
"Quietly but systematically, the administration has all but shut down the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Energy and Technology Deployment -- the state's primary energy office -- and removed directors and reassigned staff in the Office of Energy Management in the Department of General Services and the Governor's Green Government Council.
It has also forbidden state executive agencies from signing contracts that suThe changes will put more than 100,000 "green jobs" in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries at risk, according to Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future -- PennFuture - "

Easy way to “cool” the USA (just change the numbers)
It was difficult to find information about “New Normals”. I suppose that’s because our nation’s news is slanted toward climate change denial. Maybe if Rupert Murdoch goes to prison that will all change but until then we can expect to not hear the words “global warming” in a weather forecast.
You can find information about “New Normals” here:

To make his unemployment numbers look less bad Ronald Reagan changed the way unemployment is calculated. Someone working 30 hours a month at McDonalds is now fully employed. If someone gives up looking for a job he or she is no longer unemployed. Like magic, unemployment numbers went down.
There is a simple way for Republicans to confuse the hell out of people saying it’s too darn hot; just change from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
115 degrees Fahrenheit magically becomes only 46 degrees Celsius. Instant cooling.

She's Alive... Beautiful... Finite... Hurting... Worth Dying for.
“This is a non-commercial attempt to highlight the fact that world leaders, irresponsible corporates and mindless 'consumers' are combining to destroy life on earth. It is dedicated to all who died fighting for the planet and those whose lives are on the line today. The cut was put together by Vivek Chauhan, a young film maker, together with naturalists working with the Sanctuary Asia network (http://www.sanctuaryasia.com/).”

Meadows in Coatesville?
I tried to do something like this in Coatesville a few years ago and it requires a revision of our codes to allow something on a lawn longer than 6 inches.
Coatesville has lots of steep slopes which makes grass impractical.
It would also be a very low cost major improvement in stormwater management and add to groundwater recharge.
No one was even slightly interested.
