 "A warmer atmosphere has more energy, contributing to heat waves, tornadoes and other extremes. Even heavy blizzards come from an atmosphere packed with extra moisture by global warming. Years like 2011 may be the new normal."  -meteorologist Jeff Masters of Weather Underground



I find it curious that news reports have emerged that a Chinese solar outfit, Jinko,  had a chemical leak that has  been given attention by the MSM. This is interesting because these environmental degradations go on unreported all the time in China.  I get the strong sense that green energy in general is under attack by certain special interests. Meanwhile the beat goes on the real story, global warming. Regardless of what you consider the cause (despite the circular thinking, there should be  no doubt ) a one degree boast in global temperature has major ramifications. For the US, the big story will be permanent drought in the West. The odds of a Cat 5 hurricane grows proportionally. Prepare for "strange" high risk weather.
