"my background is in making measurements and the art and science of measurements." Got it; you're our resident mixologist. Could I have a Margarita, blended, salt? Thanks. What happened with your electric train?

And I happened to build my first weather station when I was 12. Really. I was 10 yrs old when I built my first radio. It was a batteryless affair whose main feature was a 140 yard ariel laid parallel to the sea front where I lived. At it's highest point it was about 100 feet above mean sea level. At 12 years old my geography teacher told me the local weather station recorded the highest number of sunshine hours in Britain every year. He theorised the numbers were manipulated because we lived on an Island whose main income was derived from tourism. I pondered on these matters while I spent most of my time either fishing or sailing. To quote the "science" of George Gilder is to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that you believe only in bullchit. To add the belief of Micheal Crichton's science proves you have indeed come down with yesterdays rain. All data you provide must be vetted with a fine tooth comb and probably 95% of it discarded, and that would be only on a good day. I am just beginning to notice who the other fools are who believe in the teachings of the crank called George Gilder.
