    Sounds like too many variables to botch from people who consistently can't give you accurate weather more than 3 days ahead.
    Sorry, I appreciate your answer, but you've just fueled my skepticism. Maybe we do have higher CO2, but I still don't see it being a good mix. No excuse not to verify from other points. At least 3 should be utilized, not unlike radio triangulation, matched to the shifts in atmosphere as weather is recorded. This is like trying to find a signal (averaged mix) by standing still with a radio and waiting for the signal to weaken or strengthen. Top that with the subtraction of volcanic activity and it sounds like driving blindfolded while GPS tells you where to go. Uhm NO!

    Perhaps it's done, I saw the same nothing you did. Other pages have a comic. I guess this one bowed and drew the curtain.
    The art is; the page hits this link is generating from a link on /. Little kids draw stick figures as representations for communication of thoughts they cannot express, or as a utility, not so much art. So in a Warhol fashion, one needs to look beyond that, to the space where a comic was purported to exist. Like a star gone to black hole, it carries only memories of its existence embedded in any observers. So we can see a juxtaposition of relativity, repeated in the remembered grains of sand forming the castle, bringing to mind ; time as observed through the sands of an hourglass, thus are the days of our lives. An apocalyptic work, this should be displayed at the mens room in the Louvre on a very old computer which will automatically generate an hourglass when refreshed giving the viewer time to see the complexity of artists intent. Dead blind genius.

    Wait a minute, is there something I've been missing out on here? Should you take atmospheric tests for CO2 from just one spot, a volcanic spot? Or should it be taken and averaged over several points on the planet?
    I admit to not knowing much about this, but isn't it akin to taking readings from the exhaust of a semi-truck, rather than a good random sample of traffic? Or even taking a Semi-truck reading in New Jersey to apply to Montana?

    You're right, not doing anything is not the answer. Eliminating suspected causes IS! Doing extensive research while the clock tics is no more than an autopsy while you're only sick.

    Let's re-examine the submission with some reality goggles on;

              "Citing a wide range of symptoms, a federal report (PDF) released yesterday has concluded that payola from Dow and other Chemical companies can buy study results. . Meanwhile, Europe has moved towards banning neocotinids for two years. EPA's Jim Jones stated, 'There are non-trivial costs to society if we get this wrong. There are meaningful benefits from selling your soul to big business, as well as exquisite food.' May R. Berenbaum, head of the department of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a participant in the study, said, 'There is no quick fix. Patching one hole in a pocket that leaks everywhere is not going to keep it from losing every penny they pay.'"

    Grocery delivery isn't offered around here anywhere. Even if they start, people want groceries, when they want them, not when they "get around to it".
