Getting back to the subject of globalwarming, here is an interesting area that has been only lightly considered in the studies that the IPCC places so much credence in?..Weather station problems? Inaccurate temperature measurment?
Chris Horner Identifies More Weather Station Problems | NewsBusters.org

Here are some glaring examples of flawed temperature gathering techniques in a highly industrialized, wealthy, nation? Do we know how accurately the temps are measured in Bolivia, Tierra de Fuego, Tibet. etc? There is a term in the computer arena..GIGO.(garbage in, garbage out!) Obviously it still applies and impacts the data inserted into the computer models.

One can argue that approximations will do but the use of approximations(proxies) certainly diminishes the certainty of the ultimate product? And when we consider the term global it's not a stretch to suggest that the Gigo factor may be at work here. Another possible flaw

Bush is denounced for not ratifying the Kyoto accords, does anyone remember why he rejected them? Here's a hint:
rmnunez..for complete accuracy President Clintons Senates first rejected the Kyoto protocol. The Senate of the US is the body that votes on treaty matters not the the President..Though I will admit Bush wasn't pushing it!


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
