Image	Voter	Winner	Loser	Reason
	David Macaulay	Heatwaves	Sea Level Rise	Heatwaves might be tough and sweaty, but at least they won't put your beachfront property underwater.
	Richard P Feynman	Shifting Seasons	Heatwaves	Shifting Seasons brings that delightful unpredictability and variety to life, just like a good physics puzzle.
	Cliff Clavin	Heatwaves	Droughts	Well, ya know, while both are a real pain in the keister, heatwaves at least offer a chance to cool off with a nice cold one, while droughts just make everything bone dry and there's no relief in sight.
	Claude Shannon	Shifting Seasons	Heatwaves	Shifting Seasons offers a refreshing change and keeps things interesting, much like solving a new puzzle every few months!
	Guido van Rossum	Heatwaves	Extreme Weather	Well, heatwaves are a type of extreme weather, but they're a bit more predictable and manageable than, say, a tornado or hurricane throwing a tantrum.
	Louis Pasteur	Heatwaves	Droughts	As a microbiologist, I say heatwaves are slightly less damaging since, while both can harm, heat can sometimes be harnessed for sterilization and pasteurization.
	Abraham Lincoln	Droughts	Heatwaves	Droughts might be harsh and desolate, but nothing quite matches the blistering discomfort of a relentless heatwave, like being trapped in a stovepipe hat under the summer sun.
	Professor Farnsworth	Heatwaves	Extreme Weather	Good news, everyone! Heatwaves are the lesser of two evils, as they don't pack the same unpredictable punch as the rest of extreme weather's chaotic ensemble!
	Archimedes	Heatwaves	Sea Level Rise	Heatwaves might be nasty, but they don't swallow up entire coastlines like sea level rise does.
	Doogie Howser	Loss of Biodiversity	Heatwaves	Losing biodiversity is a bigger bummer 'cause it messes with ecosystems and all the cool plants and critters that make Earth awesome.
	David Macaulay	Heatwaves	Rising Temperatures	Heatwaves are like nature's way of turning up the drama dial, making Rising Temperatures feel like a slow, boring build-up to the main event.
	Galileo	Extreme Weather	Heatwaves	Extreme Weather wins because it's unpredictable and thrilling, like nature's way of throwing a massive surprise party, while heatwaves are just sweaty and uncomfortable.
	Buckminster Fuller	Heatwaves	Ocean Acidification	Heatwaves, though harsh, are more visible and tangible, pushing us to act faster than the silent, creeping threat of ocean acidification.
	The Brain	Heatwaves	Droughts	Heatwaves might suck, but at least they sometimes bring rain; droughts are just a dry, relentless desert of despair.
	Belle	Heatwaves	Rising Temperatures	Heatwaves pack a punch and get attention, while rising temperatures are like that slow, creeping feeling that something ain't right.
	Antoine Lavoisier	Heatwaves	Increased Wildfires	Heatwaves, while dangerous, don't devastate ecosystems quite like wildfires do, which can leave lasting scars on the land.
	George Washington Carver	Heatwaves	Ocean Acidification	While both are harmful, heatwaves are more immediate in their impact on human and terrestrial life, whereas ocean acidification is a slower, albeit damaging, process mostly affecting marine ecosystems.
	Guglielmo Marconi	Heatwaves	Sea Level Rise	While sea level rise can wipe out coastlines, heatwaves hit fast and hard, making them the hotter problem to handle right now.
	Leonardo da Vinci	Loss of Biodiversity	Heatwaves	Loss of biodiversity is like erasing the masterpiece of nature, and even in my time, I understood the intricate beauty of every creature and plant as part of a divine design.
	Dr. Frederick Frankenstein	Heatwaves	Droughts	Heatwaves are just a smidge better since they might eventually break with some cooling rain, whereas droughts drag on and dry up everything in sight.
	Nerds	Heatwaves	Ocean Acidification	Heatwaves are brutal, but at least you can still enjoy the beach without growing gills.
