So an ultra-conservative ex-Hitler youth member (we are assured not an enthusiastic member) has been elected as pope on the day of Hitler’s birthday. Conspiracy? Co-incidence? I can feel a Mike Moore movie about to be made – oh that’s right president Bush is Hitler.

Good luck to them, the pope is dead, long live the pope

*Whom should we believe? The atmosphere or the models?
*Many scientists believe in models and think there must be something wrong with the observations. Other scientists believe the atmospheric data and think models have left out some important negative feedbacks.
* I believe in the atmosphere.
