WE ARE UNDERGOING BIG CHANGES - Top Scientists - NY Times

It is the first time in the modern era of global warming data that temperatures have blown past the previous record three years in a row.

...and the great ice storms sweeping from the heartland toward the coast...are weather events that along with other accelerated extremes form a pattern of climate turbulence that only Willfully Blind Republicans, Inc. can fail to see.
