Fingers crossed this fucker doesn’t see his shadow.
Happening in the World: Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is running for reelection essentially unopposed – his only opponent is one of his own supporters. Potential political rivals have been sidelined, jailed, or threatened with prosecution. President Trump has described el-Sisi as a “fantastic guy”. (New York Times)
Happening in the US: Speaking of the Trumpster: President Trump is anticipated to approve the release of the controversial congressional memo everyone’s been talking about. The memo claims that special counselor Robert Mueller’s initial probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election was influenced by a dossier underwritten by the Hillary Clinton campaign, thus biasing his investigation. Despite concerns from law enforcement and intelligence officials about confidential information included in the memo, House Republicans are likely to make its contents public on Friday.

Happening in NYC: Mayor / known marmot murderer Bill de Blasio is skipping the Staten Island Zoo’s Groundhog Day event for the second year in a row. In 2014, de Blasio dropped the groundhog – real name Charlotte – and she was found dead days later. Mayor Bloomberg, meanwhile, was repeatedly bitten by the groundhog. So maybe this change is for the best. (New York Daily News)
Happening on Campus: Battle of the Bands is happening tonight at 8 pm in Lerner Party Space. Seven student groups are competing to be the opener for this year’s Bacchanal.
Overheard: “Elon Musk and my father are good friends.”
Tinder Pickup Line of the Day: “Do you smoke pot? Because weed be cute together.”

NASA Says Nuclear Warfare Could Reverse Global Warming

Fujii, Yoshiaki J Atm & Solar-Terrestrial Physics. April 2011, Vol. 73 Issue 5/6, p643-652 This study suggests
that the cause of the stagnation in global warming in the mid 20th century was the atmospheric nuclear explosions
detonated between 1945 and 1980.

Now there is direct evidence that indicates sunspot activity affects terrestrial weather, which occurs far beneath
the ionosphere in the troposphere. Two physicists from the University of California at Berkeley reported at the
American Geophysical Union meeting in Washington that solar flares caused a dramatic increase in worldwide
thunderstorm activity. During August 1972, Robert Holzworth and Forrest Mozer

Not only do solar storms influence day-to-day weather, but longterm, subtle variations in solar activity drive
Earth’s climate, scientists propose.

The vertical lines are drawn where all the severe High Plains droughts occur, back to about 1850, in a study by
James Marshall. There is a striking association between the drought dates and the dates of the sunspot minima after
the negatively plotted maxima. The region that is principally affected by these droughts is the region of the Great
Dust Bowl of the mid-1930s. And this is the area covered by the most severe droughts over the period 1931-1970.
