East of the Sun, West of the Moon

This study (pdf) ran a few (around 1300) simulations to predict the effect of higher concentration of CO₂. Results indicate wetter and more intense hurricanes. Having seen the results of the current crop in the past weeks, it would be nice if the two things combined would encourage voters to convince their representatives that doing something about global warming (and, hey, signing the Kyoto Accord would be a nice start) is a Good Idea ™!

I think I can stop worrying about being backlogged for a while:

To clarify this a bit, /vcr is the partition used for my homebrew PVR setup.
