A facebook friend and colleague (Sr. software engineer) posted the following article a few days ago with the caption "Some more actual science on global warming": http://www.newsmax.com/Rahn/Global-Warming-Temperature-Data/2013/04/02/id/49... I'm continually amazed at how otherwise smart people seem to be so easily duped. Note that the author of this "actual science" works for the Cato institute, whose board members include the Koch brothers. Compare and contrast with ACTUAL science: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/11/28/1210514109.full.pdf+html ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 6:56 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Science editorial in the Chronicle No need to apologize, Brent. The misunderstanding was mine. When the people of this country decide to get serious about educating our youth in the hard sciences and engineering, we won't have to be concerned with the deniers anymore. Those who understand the way science works are not threatened by it. Those who don't, buy and sell pitchforks & torches. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Send messages to the list to Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com The Utah-Astronomy mailing list is not affiliated with any astronomy club.
