I live in very nice area of Colorado with minimal numbers of people driving. Yet the city manages to create traffic jams through poor traffic management policies. When I do have to get in a car, I find myself stopping for 30-120 seconds at almost every single traffic light. Trips across town typically take twice as long as there is any need for.

Grist Magazine has an article declaring that climate skeptics are “stupid” “zombies,” who hate science and want a “new Dark Ages for America.”
They are confused. Science is about skepticism. Richard Feynman said that “Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.”

1938: ‘Peace for our time’ – Neville Chamberlain
The British Prime Minister has been hailed as bringing “peace to Europe” after signing a non-aggression pact with Germany.
Meanwhile in the US …
October 1938 was a remarkable month.
The War of The Worlds was broadcast over the radio in the US. Hitler occupied the Sudetenland. Winston Churchill explained to the world that Neville Chamberlain was an idiot.
Ignoring those minor details, the really big news was climate change in the US.

The Sun will set for the winter at the North Pole in a little over a week. It is just barely above the horizon now, and the light is getting “flat.”

Barack Obama will restore fiscal discipline to Washington:
Obama and Biden review the federal budget line by line and eliminate programs that don’t work or are unnecessary.
