Very entertaining! It just kept getting better and better as it went on.

I'm sure it will be a "peer reviewed" investigation.

Probably held over a few pints at the local pub. (The "C*ck and Bull"?)

If the scientists were actually conducting science they may have been able to come to a new conclusion: That global warming itself may also lead to cooling.

Bear with me here.

I saw a show on Nova, or some such about the Gulf stream, and how water temps affect the "pump" that drives the Gulf Stream. As the ice caps melt, it cools the water, which leads to a reduction in the "pump" that drives the Gulf Stream.

So, it would appear that there is some form of a self-correcting system here, no? The melting icecaps cool the water, which reduces the northerly Gulf Stream flow of warm water, leading to a drop in temperatures.

I am, of course, broadly paraphrasing, and drawing my own conclusions here. But there is the possibility that there is global warming, and that global warming (more appropriately called climate change) may also manifest itself as a drop in temperatures, not just an increase in temperatures.

Just throwing that idea out there.

As far as climategate itself goes, you can take a look at the "Science vs. PseudoScience" thread to get an idea of what high regard I hold research scientists.

Luckily this type of behavior is isolated to a small subgroup interested in climate study, and does not occur in fields such as evolutionary studies, etc.

Hold the phone.....what just a doggone second!


I was enjoying Denmason's humorous video, until I came across the following part:


Shanghai underwater?!

Where wil I get my precious Gold Dollars?????

I've changed my mind! Global warming must be stopped at all costs!!!
