"the worst scientific scandal in history"

The weather conditions among climate change policy makers seems to be in a turbulent free fall. The WSJ has a nice op-ed piece documenting the current state of affairs which I'll try to summarize. Politicians around the world are backtracking and downright repealing new green laws that have been touted as necessities via every media and left wing news outlet. Evidently the "science" behind man-driven global warming is not as undeniable as we were once led to believe. In fact, nearly 700 scientists from geology to physics and meteorology have publicly criticized the U.N. climate summery for policy makers. Countries including Australia, Poland, Czech Republic and even France are now having their climate policies driven by anti-consensus scientists. As the global criticism to crippling economic policies to fund green programs grows, more people are speaking up and the media and politicians like Obama will find it harder to silence the dissent.

Birth...day

It is true that I have recently been elevated into my 30's against my will. I got stuck at work most of the day but the main excitement came when I got my present from Dana. We are going to do a wine tour in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. The tour includes vineyards and wineries at a castle and a 13th century village. I can't wait to make another trip to Italy which is by far my favorite country in Europe.

Thanks a million my dear!
