I should have made clear that the whole site appears to be a front for coal industry interests.

Yeah, I've realy been waiting for Scotty to fire so great news on that front. Don't like to keep being so negative, but a toal of 7 runs from the top 3 is not exactly encouraging.

Steve,
Your "Plant Fossils of West Virgininia" site also contains sentences like this:
Today, at 380 ppm our atmosphere is CO2-impoverished, although environmentalists, certain political groups, and the news media would have us believe otherwise. - Monte Heib
http://www.clearlight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html
And who is Monte Heib? Former chief engineer for the West Virginia Office of Miner’s Safety. That's COAL mining.
So, forgive me if I'm not convinced by his "science".

Six wicket win! Now for the complacency to begin again.

I haven't read what Drudge has to say but Mediamatters takes great offence at this from NYT:
He pointed to hurricanes, an icon for Mr. Gore, who highlights the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and cites research suggesting that global warming will cause both storm frequency and deadliness to rise. Yet this past Atlantic season produced fewer hurricanes than forecasters predicted (five versus nine), and none that hit the United States.
With good reason. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of 6th form-level Stats, not to mention a basic logical fallacy.
If the history of humanity is a drive to Hamilton, carbon emissions is the skid that is sending us into a brick wall. On that scale, we're about 30 metres away from the brick wall, still doing 100kph, and debating whether or not to take our foot off the gas. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Actual numbers may not be exact.

That would be the guy who thinks its a positive when we lose to bangladesh.
You mean this guy:
"[T]o get off to a good start in the tournament we have to win this game [v. ENG tonight] and win it well. If we don't we can come out with the excuse 'it's not too bad' but we are desperate to win and set the standard for the tournament."

Bambi on ice
So true. What other cricketer faces so many many deliveries with the handle further from his body than the blade (and fails to connect that fact with dozens and dozens of LBW dismissals)?
-
Oh, on the subject of weather Auckland had some wind yesterday. Where do we send the food parcels?
Thanks for your concern, Don. Yeah it's pretty bad; the leaves to be swept up at our place number literally in the thousands, but we'll struggle through, as always.

Am I the only one who thinks that outlawing "reasonableness" as a defence displays a failure to understand even what the word "reasonable" means?
-
Well, dare I say it, but could it be that MTS aren't exactly awash in production money...
When I dealt with them "awash in production money" is exactly what they were.
