Today, the only appropriate sentiment is concern for those in the path of Sandy–and a fervent hope that the increasing number and severity of these atypical weather “events” jolts us out of our complacency and denial about global climate change.

Off today’s subject, but still an interesting article

Our local weather should have been a wake-up call the past few years without the unbelievable chaos, damage and so many deaths from Sandy. Some climate change is normal and has been ongoing for centuries but our selfish ways and constant need for total comfort plus simply not bothering to turn off lights, TV’s, stereos, etc., when not in use or resetting furnace or air conditioner temps overnight and while we are away to lower emissions has accelerated the condition. For too many years too many of us have sought comfort and ease with little or no thought to the cost in destroying our environment. Well; we are paying for it now.
