    Of course those kids don't have a $150 million golden parachute to allow them and 1000 of their closest friends maintain the lifestyle to which they are accustomed.
    How smart can this dufus be to, as a CxO , set himself up for a sexual harassment beef and endanger what surely is a multimillion dollar salary to embezzle a piddly $20K, all because of the blood rushing to his other head. HP's turn around is far more likely the result of lower lever suits cut loose from Carly's idiot policies than anything this dipwad instigated.

  11. 10 years ... pffft on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 0
    10 years is WEATHER not climate.

    [We have NO] agreement on a model for generating a single figure of merit for "earth temperature" it is absurd to discuss changes in fractions of a degree. There are too many parameters in the definition, and it's easy to get any result you want by playing with the definition of "temperature." There are no continuous measures from 1880 to 2000; all have to have "adjustments" and the adjustments are often larger than the error margins.

    You can prove anything if you can make up your data, and just about anything if you can select your data. But it isn't science. - Jerry Pournelle

    Also, how can we trust computer models when the models can't and don't account for Medieval Warm and the Little Ice Age, we have little data from the Southern Hemisphere prior to the Voyages of Discovery. If the hypothesis cant even be corroborated with the historical data we DO have with the tools used, how dependable are they for prediction?
    AGW is not a theory, it is a hypothesis at best, and we lack sufficient data to even falsify it, let alone promote it as a forgone conclusion.
    How about something with a more climatic timespan:
    http://www.longrangeweather.com/global_temperatures.htm If the data are correct, it looks like:
    A) consecutive cold periods and warm periods appear to be getting closer together.
    B) cold cycles look to be trending cooler.
    C) warm cycles also appear to trend slightly cooler and terminating more abruptly.
