While I agree that the climategate scientists should be arrested, I think I'll have to disagree that we've had "accurate" data on the weather since 1850. I'm thinking we have only had good data for the past 10 years or so. Hopefully, this whole episode will get people to understand that there is an ebb and flow in nature and weather is generated - naturally.

The Earth is about 4 billion years old. That means we are only looking at a tiny slice of time. There is no way to predict the future based on real temperature readings of only 160 years of a 4 billion year old planet. This is like predicting the future of the stock market using the last 1 second of data. These people who are perpetrating this hoax should be arrested for fraud _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/012501ca7c8f$9f821370$de863a...@[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
