Congrats Clevelanders! Apparently we’re the sixth best city in the U.S. in which to ride out global warming.

Grist.org squeezed us in their list The 10 Best Cities to Ride Out Hot Times right between Nappanee, IN and Leadville, CO.

While we don’t specialize in the trailer-making biz, nor are we located 2 miles above sea level, our new climate action plan still makes us pretty darn cool.

As the faces of other big-shot cities begin to melt (I’m nodding at you, NYC and Chicago) we’ll be enjoying the cool breeze of an increasingly less polluted lake and the cool taste of victory from an increasingly hot baseball team.

Even people from LA can’t argue with that.

Other cities that made Grist’s list include:

Seattle, WA

Homer, AK (a real wild card)

Detroit, MI

Lancaster, PA

Nashville, TN

Burlington, VT

and

San Francisco, CA

  1. Too bad global warming has been proven time & time again to be a hoax. Our planet fluctuates, end of story.

  3. “Experts predict Ohio will experience hotter summers, stronger storms, increased flooding, threats to agriculture, and a reduction in Lake Erie water levels. In fact, many of these impacts are already beginning to occur. The implications for local natural, social, and business environments are compelling reasons for change.

    The City of Cleveland is leading a community process to create a Climate Action Plan (CAP)”

    So, “STILL NO PLAN” ?

  4. Thank you, Beto, for your excellent back-to-back posts. I enjoy how your first post states we will be underwater, followed by your next post which quotes an unnamed source that states the water levels in Lake Erie will be reduced. (stands and applauds)
