Once we figure out gene therapy there'll be a Moore's law. Until then, we're stuck with the inverse Moore's law of small molecule drug design. http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com/2011/02/innovation-in-drug...

on “MIT Prof Richard S. Lindzen: Global Warming Alarmists Are in Denial”Here is a political scientist with a strong climate science background discussing how Sandy is at this moment, is #17 in terms of all time damage, but could move into the top 10. http://rogerpielkejr.blogspot.com/2012/10/sandy-and-top-20-n...
