Global cooling - the real danger

[stui magpie]

I've probably been to as many VFL games as AFL games this year and I actually enjoy the VFL ones more.

Me too. I drove down to watch the VFL but then just CBF going tonight. Glad I didn't, as things turned out.

^^^ Why am I not surprised?

Interesting little snippet.

Pfft! A shock-horror headline followed by - in the fine print - a frank admission that Arctic sea ice is declining rapidly. Not even the Daily Mail could manage to completely avoid printing the reality - that Arctic ice is going fast and 2012 was a particularly bad year.

For a scientific, non-sensational view on this, see http://www.skepticalscience.com/Has-Arctic-sea-ice-recovered.htm

Is that among the best things you can say?

I don't want to do that thing where I say that the newspaper you linked to was rubbish, but I'll make an exception for The Daily Mail: why!?

[Tannin]

Actually, the link I intended was this one: http://www.skepticalscience.com/melting-ice-global-warming.htm - they cover similar ground but this one is wider in its scope and probably of more general interest.
