When I'm urinating on a wall I like to stand back and watch what happens and that is what I'm doing about it. People, nothing to fear as our fearless leader will guide us to the light, unfortunately, the light is coming from his 100' houseboat that gets a half mile to a gallon and needs two dock connections to power the boat.

If you're reading this from anywhere in the United States right now, there's a pretty good chance it's cold outside. We're in the middle of a massive freeze that could last until March, the breadth of which NASA's Terra satellite just captured in the remarkable view you see above. See all that territory blanketed in white? That's snow. It's not cloud patterns, or a representation of wind currents, just a bunch of frozen water atop even colder ground. NASA supplemented the photo with some harrowing, record-breaking numbers:
•1ºF in Baltimore, MD
•-6ºF in Louisville, KY
•7ºF in Charlotte, NC
•4ºF in Asheville, NC
•18ºF in Macon, GA
•14ºF in Athens, GA
The temperatures are so cold in Florida the elderly are fleeing in droves.

DoD Releases 2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) released its 2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap, which focuses on various actions and planning the DoD is taking to increase its resilience to the impacts of climate change.
"Among the future trends that will impact our national security is climate change," said Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. "Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict. By taking a proactive, flexible approach to assessment, analysis, and adaptation, the Defense Department will keep pace with a changing climate, minimize its impacts on our missions, and continue to protect our national security."
The 2014 Climate Change Adaptation Roadmap is available publicly at http://www.acq.osd.mil/ie/download/CCARprint.pdf.
