X-Files? Is global warming a conspiracy?
William Henning - Thursday, June 5th, 2008 | 10:54AM (PT)


The Register has an interesting article showing how the global warming data seems to be manipulated by NASA to make it *LOOK* like there is a problem.

Mulder & Scully, where are you when we need you?

The Register has an interesting article that shows us what data NASA is apparently using to "prove" that global warming is a problem - the only problem is that the data is apparently being manipulated, and a historic low temperature (ie an abnormally low temperature) was chosen as the "basepoint" thus showing even "normal" temperatures to be "too warm".

Oh, and the reported temperature data is being fiddled with to make it seem like temperatures are always rising.

I have no idea weather The Register is full of it, or of the "global warming" IS being exagerated.

Personally, I think that we should be switching to electric cars anyway, as I am fed up with the high prices of gasoline.

I agree with the electric car idea, but people make it sound like global warming is going to destroy the entire planet tomorrow, when, in fact, its not. But still, people need to find an alternative to gas.

I'm with Rezbit on this one. Honestly, I don't know what the heck to think about global warming anymore, but I figure either way, it's wise to not shit all over nature. She gets pissed y'know (see: all natural disasters ever).

global warming has both positive and negative effects, if NASA is lying and screwing with us and there's really no problem then why is it declared one of the biggest problems of our age?
i'm not saying we should do whatever the F we want but what gives?
