Oh CO2 gods, why do you test us so? You have promised the great change of climate and devastation of the planet, yet we patiently wait and see nothing.
When will you return, destroy this planet and take us to our hellish abode – which we so richly deserve for not living like cave people. The great prophets profiteers Hansen and Mann have promised it.

Frigid Temperatures May Linger in U.S. Northeast for Three Weeks – Bloomberg
Bloomberg is off trying to take away people’s guns in Wyoming, while tens of thousands of New Yorkers are still without power – three months after Sandy hit.
The lack of change proves that rapid change is occurring.
Sometimes it frustrates me that we feel the effects of climate change so slowly, if at all.
It’s not that I’m an apocalypse-monger, dreaming of mass hysteria induced by floods and droughts, shortages of food and fuel. Rather, I worry about people’s incredible ability to acclimate: to let changes go unnoticed, as long as they’re gradual over time. I worry that people won’t notice that the air is warmer, storms are fiercer, and coral reefs are less brilliant over the course of their lives because these adjustments happen so incrementally. And thus climate change inaction will continue.

A West Point think tank has issued a paper warning America about “far right” groups such as the “anti-federalist” movement, which supports “civil activism, individual freedoms and self-government.”
The report issued this week by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., is titled “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right.”
The center — part of the institution where men and women are molded into Army officers — posted the report Tuesday. It lumps limited government activists with three movements it identifies as “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement.”
The West Point center typically focuses reports on al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists attempting to gain power in Asia, the Middle East and Africa through violence.
