Clearly, the Large Hadron Collider is to blame. *eyeroll*

Nope, you are wrong there, it is global warming AND the super collider, plus the Rove weather machine and the fact that the universe is pi**ed about Palin running for VP./SAR

Why roll your eyes? Do you understand what this thing is going to do?
Listen, I am the first to admit that I may be playing with a deck a couple of cards shy...but, can you help me understand this thing? Can anyone?
This is what I know; this won’t take long:
When we merely split one atom, we got a nuclear explosion, that leveled 2 cities.
Now we think it would be cool to fling these atoms around really, really fast, and then smash them into each other.
If a split atom blows up, what will 2 smashed, crashing atoms do?
This benefits humanity how?

It doesn’t. It’s a gazillion dollar waste of money that will give a small group of nerds, pardon my french, a woody. They could have flung these particles around or entirely halted the spread of AIDS around the world...oh, wait, Europeans aren’t supposed to be altrustic, that’s America’s job.

You do realize the answers to your questions are a simple Google search away, correct? You're on the Internet. It's a vast source of insight and information if you bother to do the legwork.
And you're very poorly informed as to the purpose of the experiment and the methodology used. Yes, splitting the atom creates a substantial release of energy-- however, the LHC does not split the atom, so we're not going to see any mushroom clouds any time soon.
Do your homework.
