The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

More good news for the rightwingers

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936328.ece

The source above is the source for these quotes:
  • "SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based."
  • "The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. " (note: or how the data fit the preconceived notions of the adjusters??)
  • "It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years."
  • "The CRU (note: this the UEA’s Climatic Research Unit - editor) is the world’s leading centre for reconstructing past climate and temperatures. Climate change sceptics have long been keen to examine exactly how its data were compiled. That is now impossible."
  • "The lost material was used to build the databases that have been his life’s work, showing how the world has warmed by 0.8C over the past 157 years....Their findings are one of the main pieces of evidence used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which says global warming is a threat to humanity."

    See blog post below written before TWW read the article above. Replication is one of the hallmarks of true science. The more TWW hears about this stuff the less it seems to be science and the more it sounds like politics and religious belief. And people say Bush and Cheney cherry-piked the intelligence...
