[ RadSafe ] Re: Global Warming [complete article with graphs and data]

[Kai Kaletsch]

Hi Maury,

When the arithmetic is done correctly and the last quarter century of data 
is included, the graph looks something like 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Temp-sunspot-co2.svg and one is hard 
pressed to see any long term correlation between sunspots and climate.

The problem is that 99% of what we hear from the global warming supporters 
is nonsense and that 99% of what we hear from global warming skeptics is 
nonsense. That doesn't mean there are not good people on either side, doing 
good science. They just don't get to hold the microphone. It is these 
outrageous urban legends that can only come about by arithmetic mistakes or 
by manipulating data that can propagate themselves, because they are so 
sensational.

I'm not sure how well a democratic society can govern itself when the public 
is consistently being fed only falsehoods.

Greetings from Saskatoon, where it is -30C right now.

Kai
