Gizmodo'd article says we're low-brow pop-culture saturated, or 'screwed up' as they put it. Which is pretty obvious to just about any sentient being. Which is also a bit of a Catch-22. Does that shallow, callow self-awareness stop one from watching piles of reality TV? I wouldn't know, I don't watch it.
I think the things here that will have the longest legs are Hurricane Sandy and iPad maybe tied for 1st, Kate, Whitney and then the London Olympics. All the rest will be gooooone not too long from now.
1. Whitney Houston
2. Gangnam Style
3. Hurricane Sandy
4. iPad 3
5. Diablo 3
6. Kate Middleton
7. Olympics 2012
8. Amanda Todd
9. Michael Clarke Duncan
10. BBB12 (don't search for this, it's a terrible Brazilian show, apparently).

No oasis for climate in Doha desert | CAN International
No oasis for climate in Doha desert | CAN International
This is an enormous disapointment.
There are villains who will become increasingly uncomfortable and in the hot seat to change.
There is enormous effort and innovation being brought by good, smart people who will lead.

The NY Times really sloughed this one off.
Really failed to take to task the repressive, tragically greedy and selfish American politicians holding us back on progress. Tragic, sad, INFURIATING AND UNACCEPTABLE. Both the media and New York Times' performance and the backwards oil and coal bought-out Republican politicians themselves, just disgusting.
“What this meeting reinforced is that while this is an important forum, it is not the only one in which progress can and must be made,” said Jennifer Haverkamp, director of the international climate programs at the Environmental Defense Fund. “The disconnect between the level of ambition the parties are showing here and what needs to happen to avoid dangerous climate change is profound.”

Amy Goodman Questions Top U.S. Negotiator on Alleged Obstruction of U.N. Climate Talks in Doha
Amy Goodman Questions Top U.S. Negotiator on Alleged Obstruction of U.N. Climate Talks in Doha
"Kumi Naidoo of Greenpeace International said, "Todd Stern and Jonathan Pershing have come to Doha with their needles stuck in the groove of obstructing the U.N. process, an art they have perfected." And he said that it is "disrespectful of President Obama to inflict on us two negative negotiators who act as if the comments he made after his election were never made. Obama should pick up the phone and tell his delegates to follow his lead, or, alternatively, call them back to Washington."

Doha: Will the Arab World lead the way on climate change? - Telegraph
Everyone has to chip in here. Developing nations, developed. EVERYONE.
I will cut my carbon emissions in 2013 too. At least by 20% by 2020. Probably 20% by next year.
