Dear Ecolog-L, Below are the links for the two following articles (I am using the term loosely; they are sales pitches) on "global cooling." What is truly astonishing is not the pseudoscience, but the willingness of those commenting below to believe climate change is a hoax, still... Anyway, some of you will get a good laugh, others will cringe, but we should all think about how easy is to spread this kind of "tabloid science" in wide-ranging media such as Yahoo Finance. Next week, Bigfoot sightings and Zeiss binocular sales, I suppose. Cheers,
