(Cedar Rapids, Iowa {the downtown area is still off limits})
As a hundred year flood wreaks havoc in the mid-west, a new report from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (comprised of thirteen federal agencies and overseen by the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Council on Environmental Quality, the National Economic Council and the Office of Management and Budget) asserts what any idiot could have inferred by now: Global Warming is making extreme weather increasingly commonplace in America.
Boston.com has a few arresting pics of the flood, one of which I included at the top of the post.
Iowa faced with a potential crop loss of $3,000,000,000.
