I'm just sayin'. Indeed, the hottest year on record. They made such a play before of the significance of one year's temperatures, you'd think they'd be all over this year, wouldn't you ;-) Also, interesting to note the deafening silence from the same quarter now that three independent inquiries have verified that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the CRU's climate data or publications. Perhaps they can get back to determining who hacked into the EA CRU system for the purpose of making mischief?

And that is not intended as a put-down :-)

There is a subclass here that act as they wish, say as they wish. But when it happens to them, feigned outrage . Some of them are such control freaks, they formed a secret cabal to try and drive people out. When they were outed, it was the ultimate LOL! Just do a google search on the C-list a few years ago. They took turns outing each other like a bunch of scared playground brats. You are a step above the rest. Who cares what some old grump thinks or gets away with. You da man sweetie, I bet you are a hunk. "F" |
