The Exigent Duality
Take teh poison! - 02:35 CST, 1/03/18 (Sniper)
A couple of years ago, I studied two "climate change" theories: the first was the "carbon cycle", "the Earth will turn into Venus" alarmism, while the second was that the biggest drive of Earth's temperature was solar activity-- indeed, the world was about to enter into a new mini ice age due to a cyclical blip in the sun's behavior!

To say that the data seemed to fit the second model better is a vast understatement. Seeing the hysterical, tautological responses to the almost constantly aberrant data from people still promoting the first theory only reinforces my opinion.

In other news, yesterday afternoon I got nailed with what I think was food poisoning, to the point where I was very nearly too weak to stand! It makes sleeping extremely uncomfortable, but I did manage to get some REM activity in from 22:00 to 1:15. I think I'm going to spend the day off-and-on sleeping and working.
