Did anyone read the sunday times today ,it shows how easily facts about the
glaciers in the himalayas can be misconstrued and like the proverbial
chinese whispers ,be
contorted without anyone really checking back to the scource to see if it
stands up to rigorous peer review.

While on the subject of source data ,worldwide CO2 measuring equipment over
the years must have changed ,
did anyone calibrate the old equipment against the new.
Just to add to the conspiracy theory , I bet the new equipment gave
generally higher ,more sensitive and more accurate readings than the old ,so
you of course will see a spike in the more recent levels
It would be great to get hold of some old equipment and compare the new to
it.
What do you other cleaver newsgroup guys think.?
