It's been an incredible year, and we're only 3/4 through it. I have a feeling the results of all this for the rest of us, those who weren't immediately affected by floods, drought, etc., will be felt in 6-12 months when the cost of lost crops and such hits the markets.

Add to that the international political turmoil that gives little hope of cooperation to address actual human need, and I'd say it's clear that we're pretty well screwed.
