Sam, you're so ignorant you don't understand how moronic you sound. I could use your posts as examples of dangers of showing graphs to the ignorant - they don't know what they're looking at and draw faulty conclusions. (BTW - My wife is disgusted by your ignorance. She laughed at first, now she's disturbed.) If you want to understand how stupid you sound, here's what you need to learn: * Variance * Control * Standard Deviation Once you learn that, do this homework lesson: Take the data points you see and plot them using Minitab ( http://minitab.com ) or Excel as a distribution, then calculate the controls. When you do you'll see is a new graph that looks like a low hill with 2 straight lines on either side. What this means is that this particular graph is "in control". In other words, it shows absolutely nothing. Here's the kicker: If you do this you can intelligently support your view! I won't tell you how, but it will become obvious once you understand common cause variation and look at your new distribution graph. Now, let's talk about rates of increase. The article you posted has data in it not represented on the graphs. That data describes a *drop* in the *rate of increase* of GHG. In other words, growth is slowing. That's a good thing. NOTE I realize this entire post is likely lost on you as you are more interested ignorant faith than learned facts - which is why you probably like Bush so much: he's like you. The geek in my compels me to try. It is my burden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:226757 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
