Read the news. The. World. Is. A. Disaster.

But, according to President Obama, “the world’s always been messy … we’re just noticing now in part because of social media.” #what?

I guess, since Facebook and Twitter weren’t around, the folks who lived through World War I, World War II, and the Cold War never noticed those messy events.

Be that as it may, even with all of the “messes” going on in the world, many leaders are taking a day to catch up in New York City at the UN Climate Summit, scheduled for September 23.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has invited world leaders … to galvanize and catalyze climate action. He has asked these leaders to bring bold announcements and actions to the Summit that will reduce emissions, strengthen climate resilience, and mobilize political will for a meaningful legal agreement in 2015. #Climate2014

I guess too much twittering/facebooking is creating glow-bull heating due to friction on keyboards and I-phone screens? Or something. But what the heck. As long as these hard working folks can take a break to work on this danger to the planet, let 'em. That means they'll be preoccupied and leave us alone for a few hours. Maybe.

And he has “just the solution” but it’s going to cost Americans “to fix it”, right?
