At 33 meters (3.28 ft) deep this is the worlds deepest manmade pool. The Nemo tank in Belgium is loved by scuba divers around the world.
This week in your tax dollars at work and/or you won’t ever have grandchildren: A colossal group of US Government agencies released a report on global warming’s near-term impact on the United States, and it’s not pretty. You can see reports by region, so you can see how just how fucked you and your loved ones are.
The above picture shows the projected changes in precipitation in my home, the Southwest. OC/LA is looking at loosing between 20%-40% of it’s water, but since the pacific ocean is right there let’s hope it can be salvaged by solar desalinization plants. If you have any real estate in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah or Colorado, it might be wise to consider relocating in the next few years. Because what good is property without water?
The Northeast, where I live now, is going to get even hotter in the summer and what apparently whack skiing there is now is pretty much over. Bostonites can look forward to an increase of 1 day per year of 100ºF+ temperature from 1961-1990 to between 6-24 days per year going forward. Awesome.

Of course, we’ve heard about all this before. And it’s just a bunch of fringe hippies who hate America and our freedoms, right? I mean, look at this laundry list of fringe organizations:
Department of Commerce
Depertment of Defense
Department of Energy
Department of the Interior
Department of State
Department of Transportation
Department of Health and Human Services
NASA
National Science Foundation
The Smithsonian Institution
United States Agency for International Development
Department of Agriculture
Environmental Protection Agency
I mean, come on. NASA? Like they know anything about science. Department of commerce? Clearly a pinko-lefty organization. And the Department of Defense? Put away the bong, hippies! Ok, were fucked.
Happy Fourth of July, America!
PS - Is it legal to punch Hummer drivers yet?
This is pretty much on par with his domestic policy.
