From Dot Earth:

Federal researchers have published work concluding that a particular variant of the periodic El Niño warmups of the tropical Pacific Ocean is becoming more frequent and stronger. The pattern appears to fit what is expected from human-driven warming of the global climate

What no one is talking about is the utter irresponsible way in which we approach our world — it’s resources, climate and balance.  Our asses are on a ticking time bomb that will explode in the next decade; the shrapnel will be failing infrastructure, water shortage and food shortage. Mix that in with overpopulation and let’s see how well we play nice with each other.  
What do these recent stories have in common besides being glossed over by our Fourth Estate?
The Arctic isn’t so arctic any more
Amtrak breaks down
Subway tickets are going up .. again
There’s some sort of drought in Russia
.. And some water problem in Pakistan
Georgia has a water supply issue.. and so does Mexico
Record highs this year
etc.
And yet we’re all talking about a fucking ‘mosque’.  Serves us right. And for all the guys who follow Beck and Plain and all the other nutsos.. don’t take me down with you.  I’m getting out while you wave your anti-fag placards with your Cheetos stained paws and debate Obama’s religion with your 17th century education.  New Zealand sounds pretty good.

Hi. I work for Tumblr. I live in Brooklyn with my awesome wife. I like Vespas and dogs. This a corner for me to sketch out thoughts and snatch bits of daily things that inspire me.
