I agree, I actually thought no particular reason was given.

I do like the new guy though, he did great in the finale of season 2.

Excerpt from the History channel:

So much static electricity built up between the ground and airborne dust that blue flames leaped from barbed wire fences and well-wishers shaking hands could generate a spark so powerful it could knock them to the ground. Since static electricity could short out engines and car radios, motorists driving through dust storms dragged chains from behind their automobiles to ground their cars.

Nice

I stared at this for too long

There are about 326,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water in our oceans. I found a neat little calculator to determine how many pounds of ice you’d need to cool water (okay pool water, not ocean water, good enough). The ocean surface temperature has increased about 1.5°F in the last hundred years, let’s reverse it!

[Ocean Vol] / 1000 × [Temp] × 4.375 = 213,937,500,000,0000,000 lbs of ice

Or 1,069,687,500,000,000 tons An enormous ice cube roughly 63 miles or 101km on each side. Super easy!
