Antipodean

Looks pretty interesting, will check this out more later.

Pretty interesting to see three ways of spinning some data.

Pretty cool bit of engineering.

Makes antialiasing in jEdit look much nicer.

Some of the information on this site appears a bit suspect.

But, I’m not a meteorologist so I lack the access to and expertises to interpret the data in any real meaningful way. My position on the matter has always been that whether or not this is an issue a lot of the things that are happening due to the alarmism are things we actually need to do for other reasons.

But people need to understand that The Green House Effect and Global Warming are not the same thing. One is a measured data set and the other is an attempt to explain that dataset and predict it’s future trends. The data set doesn’t change, but the explaination can.

I must admit, I’m a bit of a global warming skeptic.. there may be data pointing one way (or the other), but it’s really hard to figure out what it actually means.
It seems that everyone has jumped on the “global warming” bandwagon.. it’s fashionable to be green. As such, big companies and politicians can use it as a tool to manipulate people.

Pretty cool.. I don’t know what it is about graphs and stats that is so addictive.

“enterprise” gem for Ruby.. hilarious!
