Juan -- Totally OT, and perhaps off your radar screen, but any knowledge to share of what's happening in Myanamar? The AFP line is that Muslims, mainly refugees from Bangladesh, have been doing bad things and are getting paid back, but the world is rarely this simple. Thanks.
Juan -- Sounds like you're saying Yemen needs full-scale occupation by a unified (Suni, Shia) well-coordinated Arab League army, for at least two generations. For obvious reasons, this will never happen. So, yes, Yemen, is doomed and yes, it will spill over into Saudi Arabia, and yes, US has become a police state. Someone please tell me where the hope lies?
Excellent post. You might be interested to know that the seasonally adjusted value for CO2 for Sept. 2011 (Mauna Loa data) was 392 ppm. This is well above even the worst-case scenarios published in the last IPCC report and right at the upper edge of their overall uncertainty envelope. It suggests that all of the IPCC predictions have greatly underestimated the rate at which climate-change problems will hit us.
