Currently in Boston— March 28th 2022

By Rebecca McCarthy —

The weather, currently.

A very cold start to the work week.

Monday is going to be one of the colder days we can have this time of year, as temperatures barely break freezing along the coastline and stay below freezing inland. Early blooming trees and plants will be hit by the cold snap—nothing's going to be killed though, just damaged for the year. Tuesday morning will be one of the coldest late March mornings in six years, as many places fall to the upper teens and lower 20s. Temperatures will begin to moderate on Tuesday afternoon and then rise back near or above normal for the end of the week. —Dave Epstein

Demonstrators marched on 500 cities around the world on March 25 in the Global Climate Strike, organized by Fridays For the Future— a movement founded by Greta Thunberg.

In 2018, the IPCC released a historic report, warning that the world had roughly twelve years left to prevent the worst effects of global warming. We’re down to eight years now.

World leaders have largely spent the last four years wasting time and carbon emissions are back on the rise after a sharp drop early in the pandemic. What has emerged since that fateful IPCC report is an unprecedented youth movement, demanding change.


This year’s theme was People Over Profit. "In 10 years these kids will be able to run for office," Sofia Palau, a Bay Area organizer told ABC 7. "If we can't make change here on the streets we will make change in congress in the future.” —Rebecca McCarthy
