Have a look       at Dr. Roy Spencer's website:              https://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/              Dr. Spencer, along with Dr. John R. Christy, et. al., is a climate       denier, but take Dr. Spencer's data and run a simple linear regression;       the coefficient does not have a confidence interval that includes zero.       Now, explain that!              Dawn              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
