By Jeff Spooner, Ottawa Citizen Letter to the Editor, July 31, 2015
Thursday’s Citizen’s front-page headline, “Hottest in a century,” is a testament
to the preoccupation of our times — the weather. It’s not just warmth, however,
as winter receives the same type of treatment — a vastly hyped commentary on
weather events we have all experienced hundreds, if not thousands of times. News
broadcasts lead off their reporting with weather events and in-street
interviews, with the general theme being how we are coping with either extreme
cold or heat. via
