Because it's not the research that is flawed in many cases. In the overwhelming majority, it's the interpretation of the research after it is published.

Those who do not study history...:-:

They think they are correct only because they've published a paper even if another person is correct. Besides, some people just love to argue for the sake of arguing.

Boiled down nicely if I do say so myself.

If you want the truth, go to a school cafeteria. When the board says "Tuesday: Meat loaf and peas" and you go there on a Tuesday, there will be Meat loaf and f***ing peas!

Global warming or not, there is already a :eek: load of snow out there and the heaviest is still supposedly on its way.

Missing miles posted to BD account ^^

Now remains to be seen how quickly Wyndham miles post!

I have a MR at the end of March - a Q-UP on UA that I am crediting to BD. That should re-qalify me for Gold for another year, and I'll have enough miles in the account for a Cash+Miles J award ticket US-South America somewhere.

Cool!^

Which history is being ignored?

This series of videos were the most neutral that I have ever seen on the issue of global warming, and I'd wager it's a better watch than An Inconvenient Truth (which I have never seen). The narrator is a global warming proponent, but very even handed with the material. :-:

(and I see there's a new video about 'climategate' that I should watch)

Yep, ain't that the truth!:eek::rolleyes:

It's coming down pretty heavy -- but just some wind now -- I expect that it'll pick up -- soon!:eek:

An ex appears to have come out of the woodwork and gone bat$hit insane.

That seems like a reason to drink more, not to stop drinking. :-:

Maybe his idea was to change his 'lifestyle' a bit -- as the 'status quo' seems to have invited such :rolleyes:!:D
