There are not many upsides to global warming, but one of them may be the fact that photographers can photograph the beautiful effects of the usual and unusual weather patterns. For Contest Corner Challenge #65: Crazy Climate, photographers are simply asked to take and submit a photograph depicting "weather" (lightning, tornados, rain, heat, clouds, etc).

HBO presents The Yes Men Fix the World

At conference after conference, The Yes Men take on some of the world’s biggest businesses. Attending Canada’s largest oil conference, they impersonate Exxon Mobil officials and present biofuel candles made from “climate-change victims.” They then claim to be Halliburton executives unveiling apocalyptic “Survivalball” suits that will be marketed to the super-rich.
