    Friday afternoon science :-(

    Little bit of science (with an admitted agenda) for a Friday avo - no sleeping at the back there!

    UK temperature from 1650:

    Bit of info on little ice age:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_ice_age

    Put the 2 together, do the math and you see a regularizing climate following a cool period. You also see why AGW proponents like to date from 1850.
    Bored.

    You wouldn't know what science was if it reared up and bit you on your pimply backside.
    Hard Brexit now!

      A bit of a long winded post - and a bit obtuse. Could you summarize it and say what you really mean?

            He means that he is measuring twunts on an absolute scale, ie no arbitrary average twunt to be measured against. This can be interpreted as meaning that ace is the original, one and only, prime-time twunt.

              For a side-splittingly amusing misuse of the term "Scientist", have a butcher's at this.
              In particular, Oracle guru Jonathan Lewis' profound announcement that "You probably could be a hamburger-flipping scientist - but it's a fairly narrow field of scientific endeavour".

              And this sort of plop has been doing the rounds in Oracle circles for years. Makes yer proud to be in IT, doesn't it?

                    Was the 'pimply backside' bit an assumption of the working hypothesis or an 'absolute' fact based on first hand knowledge?
