Russia’s Frigid Winter This is another example of data mining. A meaningless statistic is found in a huge mass of data. This cold winter does nothing to address the average temperature of Siberia, it does not mention whether the summer temperature was hotter or colder than normal, it also does not address whether the Siberian winter is being compressed into a shorter more violent season. In short, it's just a random bit of data that some computer operator though would fit the preconcived notion of whoever is financing the web site (Dow chemical or Scaife would be my guess). This is bad information passed off as science. TP

The specter of malaria in England from global warming is a red herring, according to Christy. "Malaria is not a warm weather disease and was endemic in Britain in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is constrained by simple public health measures. In countries wealthy enough to support a good public health infrastructure, there is little or no malaria, such as Singapore and northern Australia." It's particularly a red herring since the predictions that I've seen are that England will go sub-frigid with the disruption of the Gulf Stream. This is the first one I've seen that mentions malaria or warming within Britain. Russia’s Frigid Winter Russia is experiencing its coldest winter in 50 years, according to official measurements. The average temperature in Siberia was – 40 degrees C and fell as low as – 70 degrees C (Arizona Republic, February 18, 2001). This is significant because according to greenhouse theory places such as Siberia should see the largest rise in temperatures from increases in atmospheric concentrations in greenhouse gases. Because the coldest air masses on earth are also the driest, greenhouse gases exert a relatively larger influence on temperatures than in more humid regions, such as the tropics. Indeed, tropical temperatures should remain nearly steady. Hold on a sec....my understanding is that the world's climate varies on it's own [I think I read that somewhere]and picking a specific instance within a year wasn't proof that global warming existed. So how is it now, that these same people can now pick a specific instance and claim it disproves global warming. You're beginning to convince me that there is some very convenient biasing being inserted. jttmab jttmab
