And Cleveland Frowns is a website that’s two for two with breaking news from the airport:

Per @MSchieman on airport run-in: “I was like, ‘Andrew! [Bynum] Are you coming to Cleveland?’ He looked me in the eyes and said “yes sir.”

As long as everyone’s clear that @MSchieman beat @Chris_Broussard and everyone else reporting Bynum to Cleveland by 2 whole days.

As for the impact of Bynum on the Cavs, the best case scenario is the Curse of Chief Wahoo and the Curse of Dan Gilbert combined, so we’ll see.
In other news, “every major national science academy in the world [is reporting] that global warming is real, caused mostly by humans, and requires urgent action,” with ”global concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hav[ing] reached 394 parts per million, up from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution and the highest levels seen in at least 800,000 years.” Miami is already hurtling toward post-apocalyptic Waterworld status thanks to rapidly melting icecaps, and scientists working for the Australian government just issued a report stating that 80 percent of known global fossil fuel reserves (which includes those obtainable by fracking) will have to stay in the ground if destabilizing climate change is to be avoided. Scientists at Oxford have calculated that “the world needs to begin reducing emissions by roughly 2.5 percent per year, starting now.” But despite these warnings and countless others, things are moving full steam in the opposite direction, with carbon emissions having “hit a new record this past year, increasing 3 percent to 34.7 billion metric tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases,” and the natural gas boom having killed the economic viability of the development of clean and renewable fuel sources.
And it just rained for 16 days in a row in Cleveland, the longest such summer streak in at least 113 years, which was as far back as the Plain Dealer could bother looking.
