One always throws out bad data, even if it is slightly corrupt. If the premise of the test is false, you throw out the test. Unless you're a climate scientist, then it's the reverse.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. There have been ice ages and warm periods before. And although you couldn't claim either one was _good_ for life on this planet (both caused massive extinctions) the remaining life adapted. >Would you agree that the human population growth in the last century is partially >responsible for the damage we have done? There are too many humans ... >especially in the developing world. Definitely. Less humans = less pollution of all sorts, from CO2 to CO to HC to plain old trash. >But Cap and Trade doesn't address this problem . . . Also agreed. It just allows reduction of pollution _without_ killing off people (or more accurately holding the birthrate down through governmental action.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
