A story notes that
[...] according to a new U.S. Army report, Americans could face a horrifically grim future from climate change involving blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war. The study found that the US military itself might also collapse. This could all happen over the next two decades, the report notes.
[...] The report paints a frightening portrait of a country falling apart over the next 20 years due to the impacts of climate change on "natural systems such as oceans, lakes, rivers, ground water, reefs, and forests.
Current infrastructure in the US, the report says, is woefully underprepared: "Most of the critical infrastructures identified by the Department of Homeland Security are not built to withstand these altered conditions."

What can I say, I dig black holes. And I ain't just talking hookers.

I think I'd need a bigger shovel.

Some of the early work in industrial efficiency (by Frederick Taylor [wikipedia.org]) suggested that best efficiency was obtained by choosing the appropriate shovel for the material shoveled. That is, denser materials called for smaller shovels. Ergo, you should find a small shovel for your black holes, not bigger.
