Two events last week brought yet further twists to one of the longest-running farces of our modern world. One was the revelation by the European Space Agency that in 2013 and 2014, after years when the volume of Arctic ice had been diminishing, it increased again by as much as 33 per cent. The other was that Canadian scientists studying the effect of climate change on Arctic ice from an icebreaker had to suspend their research, when their vessel was called to the aid of other ships trapped in the thickest summer ice seen in Hudson Bay for 20 years.
Frigid air will grip an unusually large portion of the Lower 48 states in just over a week’s time. The cold is predicted to consume almost the entire nation, from the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast, sparing only Florida.
While some parts of the country are forecast to experience temperatures 30 to 50 degrees colder than normal, the cold snap will be most remarkable for the amount of real estate it is predicted to cover.
Brian Brettschneider, a climatologist based in Alaska, noted Thursday that the National Weather Service’s six- to 10-day temperature outlook (below) projected the nation’s largest area with high confidence (90 percent probability) of below-normal temperatures in 15 years of issuing such outlooks.

Well, maybe he wasn’t ‘fiddling’, but was only golfing. And maybe it wasn’t Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria that was assasinated, but the Russian Ambassador to Turkey, Andrey G. Karlov. Maybe the metaphors are a bit haphazard, but the fact remains that Barack Obama will get his 36 holes of golf in no matter that the “sky is falling” or not.
Darwin has a hard time containing his glee every time some fool attempts a belly flop (or as Darwin in wont to call it – a ball buster) and it turns out to be a true genome squisher. Usually, there is water involved, and sometimes as in this poor fool’s experience, not so much water.
Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors
