Just a coincidence?: The day before 350.org's big day to "connect the dots", the Chicago Tribune contains a lengthy article about "connecting the dots" which blames CO2 for "inducing something akin to 'roid rage in the Earth's atmosphere"

Weather is on a wild ride, but is it actually getting weirder? - chicagotribune.com

"The weather is definitely weird," said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology for the website Weather Underground. He's seen extreme events in the last two years that he had not seen in a 30-year career. "The climate is certainly much different today than when I was growing up."

Global warming is partly to blame, inducing something akin to 'roid rage in the Earth's atmosphere.

Doug Kluck, NOAA's climate service director for a 14-state region that includes Missouri, said it is tougher to tell if the weather has taken a permanent turn for the weird. "There is not any firm evidence of more extreme events now than in the past."

...People are already connecting the dots.
