You may mention that the movie is about survival in the future in so-called polar cities along the Arctic Circle line, and includes flashback scenes from an earlier time that show how we got to that point."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949421001644904537.post-18498234217673695072008-08-21T21:31:00.000-07:002008-08-21T21:31:00.000-07:00said a top scientist in the USA today re this:"ext...said a top scientist in the USA today re this:<BR/><BR/>"extremely cool ...<BR/><BR/>...

Another mini ice-age seems far more likely to me but hey, I'm not a climatologist!<BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm looking at a series of cold-weather events that are pretty much unprecedented--not individual events so much as the sheer number of them, this year especially.<BR/><BR/>At what point--after how many years of cooling, how many extreme cold records--do we say that AGW just isn't happening as the models predicted? Being a trained engineer (process engineering) I've looked at the computer models and their sensitivity to even minutely differing inputs and reached the conclusion that they're utterly useless as predictors. It's almost become a case of "pick the model that suits" and that goes for global cooling as well as warming.<BR/>Either way I'm very confident that as a species we're adaptable enough and intelligent enough to cope with either scenario--the worry is that political considerations will lead us down a track that will leave us unprepared, with research funds spent on the wrong things.<BR/><BR/><BR/>My 2c worth. <BR/><BR/>K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949421001644904537.post-83328577252551951142008-08-21T07:05:00.000-07:002008-08-21T07:05:00.000-07:00Hi Dan,Why did you erase the post about dog clones...Hi Dan,<BR/><BR/>Why did you erase the post about dog clones and Ms McKinney?
