Of course not. Some people just don't want to be confused by the facts.

But some plonker will come up with yet another computer model
|
||
predicting global warming and storms and floods in 50 years even
|
||
though it can't predict next week's weather. And predict widespread
|
||
cooling in some parts of the globe (which is now part of global
|
||
"warming"). And will get plenty of publicity for even more conclusive
|
||
scaremong^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H proof.

Umpteen studies have already shown that temperature variations, when
|
||
even detectable in the noise, go either way depending on which data
|
||
you look at.

One study from Vienna showed long-term warming from thermometers at
|
||
the airport, and none from other sites. Another study with data from
|
||
Antarctica which was touted as supporting global warming while being
|
||
free from this urbanization effect later turned out to be dominated by
|
||
the time of day at which the airplane that made the measurements flew
|
||
(I may have mentioned this one b4...)
