Sandy Whether Sandy was caused by, made worse by, had nothing to do with climate change is one of those questions that can sell a lot of beer and be the subject of seminars, posters and blogs without end. Eli is actually not going to take a position on that, or rather reserves the right to be all over the place on the issue.

Polar Bear Frolics So OK, Eli is one of those strange Rabett’s who look at the Arctic Ice images from Cryosphere and Uni Bremen at Christmas. Why Christmas the bunnies ask, well Santa is on his way. Among the things that you can see at Chrismas, which are interesting, are the edges of the ic pack outside of the Arctic circle, and something amazing is happening, the coasts of Svalbard and Nova Zemelya are ice free! by a lot. The last picture is 2012. The Cryosphere Archive changes format a bit over the years, and is missing the years between 2009 and 2011, so we can insert pictures from Bremen to show this developing trend. Yes indeedy there is stuff going on.

Link if video does not play: Darlene Love on Letterman 2012 I have watched Darlene Love nearly every year at Christmas for what seems like 20 years (a quick check shows I was off by a single year). This is Love’s 19th consecutive appearance. Love sings the exact same song every year.
Eli Rabett Eli Rabett Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional.
