After 200 years of coal usage, and a few months of non-stop Obama scandals dominating the headlines, suddenly US coal usage became the critical issue for planetary survival.

WASHINGTON — Years before he became the world’s most notorious leaker, Edward Snowden ranted online about how he hated people who spill secrets so much that he wanted to blast them in the private parts, it was revealed yesterday.

In 2009, the tech geek declared on a Web forum that groups such as WikiLeaks and The New York Times, which publish sensitive government information, “should be shot in the balls.”

President Barack Obama has said there will be no “wheeling and dealing” as part of extradition efforts against US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden.

i.e. no one in Russia takes him seriously

Speaking on a visit to the West African nation of Senegal, Mr Obama also said the case would be dealt with through routine legal channels.

That ought to work

“I am not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker,” he added.

Hacker? He was a contractor given access to the data by the government. Sending US military jets to the Moscow Airport sounds like an ingenious plan.

Mr Snowden, who faces espionage charges, flew to Moscow last weekend and requested asylum in Ecuador.

Mr Obama said on Thursday that he had not called China and Russia’s presidents about the case, adding: “I shouldn’t have to.”

i.e. he doesn’t want to get laughed at by other world lesders

‘Damage done’

He told a news conference in the Senegalese capital Dakar: “I’m not going to have one case of a suspect who we’re trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where I’ve got to start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues.”

i.e. all that national security crisis talk earlier in the week was just the usual bullshit

Hansen says that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is going to collapse, due to a 0.0001 mole fraction increase in CO2. This will turn downtown Miami into a scuba diving destination.

Sea ice has been steadily increasing around Antarctica for the last 30 years, and is near record highs now. This can mean only one thing. the ice is melting and Miami is toast.

Prior to USHCN adjustments, people who believed that the weather was very hot were simply not qualified to make those decisions. Only a USHCN computer program can determine whether the temperature was actually hot at some date in the past.

Same goes for cold and forest fires.

1. Identify imperfections in the current system
2. Throw out the baby with the bath water
3. Seek out methods which have failed repeatedly in the past, and caused great suffering and poverty
4. Implement the failed methods in the name of social justice
5. Announce that you have overcome evil
6. Repeat, until life sucks equally bad* for all of the peasants

* Equality of suffering indicates social justice

Obama has witnessed the success of green power in Europe (22% unemployment in Spain, 160% electrical costs in Germany, power outages in the UK) and is planning to bring that to the US.
