2016 Needs Two Women On The Ticket

She is not old news, but I have watched Hillary my entire adult life. I can't get excited about 2016 unless there are two women on the ticket.

Also, Hillary becoming president makes Barack Obama look extra good. It is like, so he beat someone who did go on to become president. Kind of like Kennedy did. Only Nixon and Hillary are night and day. Hillary is progressive sunshine.

The phrase global warming draws this image where everything is the same except the temperature keeps going up and up, gradually but relentlessly. And that was never to be. The weather is a complex phenomenon. That is why predicting the weather is such a hard science.

So the earth warms up due to green house gases. That melts ice. One place that happens is the Arctic. Used to be land and ice were connected all through the year. Now in summer there is enough melt that you can navigate around the Arctic. Well, that has implications. Now the super cold winds in the North have more room to play. And they come way South.

And so you get more turbulent summers (like Sandy hitting NYC) and colder winters. Global warming actually means more cold. Go figure.
