Ah yes, virtue. You can add fear to that list. It is the virtue that is currently trending best these days.
Seems better than having no virtue at all. You saw the word virtue and stopped reading. "Unreal imaginings of evil cause distress about the present, or fear for the future. The ideal Stoic would instead measure things at their real value, and see that the passions are not natural. To be free of the passions is to have a happiness which is self-contained. There would be nothing to fear—for unreason is the only evil; no cause for anger—for others cannot harm you"
So then why are you so passionate about Climate Change ?

Where is the "here" in your tweet ? Hurricanes in June are rare, yes, but this is not the first time in history for June. It is after all officially Hurricane Season in the Atlantic Basin. It starts on June 1st every year and it is now June 30. For one that actually made landfall in the US in June, try Audrey. I have found 3 more. But this is only in the US. First time on record ... c'mon man.

The one we took care of? The one that rational people recognized as a real threat and took meaningful (government) actions to address? The one that is covered by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol - the first universally ratified treaties in UN history?
I know you are being glib and trying to point out something bad, but it's really a shining example of our ability to do good things. On the other hand, you can happy(?) that the current political climate probably prevents something like this from happening now and we will all suffer the consequences.
