The research is good.

The biggest thing I took from this is the idea that everyone is really just making educated guesses based on conflicting or erroneous data. Despite the best of intentions and research grants, I don't the answer can be found definitively. In the end, when the oil crash happens sometime in the next 25 years, global warming will be the least of our worries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11797778.post-1148323470509620692006-05-22T19:44:00.000+01:002006-05-22T19:44:00.000+01:00Beads - Glad it's warm where you are.

Good luck on the whole Rob Thomas thing - Lori's just being a meanie!<BR/><BR/>Paul - Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Jeff - I'm getting there :)<BR/><BR/>Angel - Actually the Da Vinci Code is a really good book. I think people have just taken it too seriously. It's a good, entertaining story.<BR/><BR/>Nomad - It took me a while to get down to reading it too, but I really enjoyed it when I did. Although I must confess I thought Angels and Demons was even better, from a storytelling and pace point of view.<BR/><BR/>Chitty - I feel for you on the weather front. Sort of.

Whereas Michael Crichton is trying to kickstart his own by presenting the stuff as facts, and apparently, the media are less likely to go for the guy who's tooting his own horn.<BR/>Am I making sense?annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08734374991569484126noreply@blogger.com
