RESPONSE: Tim Ball?? The less said the better. Is that the best skeptic around?? Here is a snippet of Ball's own words [1]: Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was one of the first Canadian Ph.Ds. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening. Any surprises, nobody is listening to him except his fellow ideologues?? Perhaps because Ball is still talking about Global Warming......instead of Climate Change. Here is some "good research" for Ball to follow that Mario dug-up [2]: http://www.earlham.edu/~pols/17Fall96/inneske/effects.HTM - B [1] http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/global-warming020507.htm [2] http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-December/187094.html
