The Great Correction


Living in the Northeast, I'm surprised to see my sedum and some lilies beginning to bloom. Of course it is December 1, and not March 21. This is not necessarily any indication of global warming but I can't recall ever seeing this either. I know winter will arrive soon. Next week no doubt there will be snow. The sedum isn't going to like it.

A few articles on global warming:

Keep in mind that some people are putting forth the idea of a "great correction." No its not that, but it does have to do with going past a certain tipping point regarding our economy and our energy use. After all at some point all of that debt, personal and governmental, and our fossil fuel based economy, among other things, has to give.
