Hi Mark,
cannot go unchallenged, ... you are basically ignorant on the subject
Fair points, glad it wasn't ignored and no offence taken
most people ... have never had the opportunity to study the science ... mathematical ... climate modelling works.
I have 3 (science and engineering) degrees and regard my maths abilities to be way, way above average. I am also intimately familiar with scientific principles and protocols - and the politics and realities of practicing science. I have a keen interest in meteorology.
My intention is to give the folks here a heads up (if they need it) as this is not a climate change forum (as pointed out). There were a couple of links and points in my post (read it again) but don't take my word for it; do your own research (proper research is never quick or easy). Science is often in the detail and the best sources are in the meteorology publications and not what the media say the meteorologists are saying.
As a parthian shot, history is littered with examples of Big Government hijacking science for their own ends. Don't confuse competent science with competent media manipulation.
As they say ... "bale on" D PS My straw-bale garden office is now completed. woohoo! :-) _________________________________________________________________Exclusive Ed Byrne daily comedy clips on MSN Video http://specials.uk.msn.com/edbyrne/
