        Global warming = ice age. Be afraid.
        \_ How is this any more reliable than USA Today or Rosie Magazine?
           \_ WHOI is one the most well-respected academic institutions
              in oceanography in the world. Do you trust scientists not to
              talk out of their asses like the press usually does? I would
              hope so... (at least to some extent)
              \_ as a professional research scientist, I assure you that
                 I *am* part of the giant left-wing conspiracy.
                \_ Relax, the ice age won't be for a few years.
              \_ I'm with you on that one brother!  Scientists have *never*
                 talked out their asses.  I'm still there with the flat
                 earthers, the angels on a pin guys, the unicorn and dragon
                 zoologists, the mice spntaneously appear in dirty rags, the
                 never been on the moon hoaxers, the coming ice agers, the
                 coming flooders, the coming fire stormers, and the scientific
                 creationists.  No sirreebob!  No scientists has ever blown
                 smoke out his ass.  Scientists know everything about
                 everything and have never been wrong in the past or modern
                 times.  Look son, there's nothing magical about a scientist.
                 It's just some guy who knows more about a subject than you
                 probably do but that doesn't mean he knows everything or that
                 he's even at all correct.  The sky is not falling.  The thing
                 reads like an anti-communist scare pamphlet from the 50s.
                 \_ but the sky is falling.  as the earth travels through
                    space in its orbit, it cuts through the sky in a huge
                    2pi(93million miles) long path
                    \_ It's sort of a freaky curved fall, then.
