BTW David,
Do you have any analysis of the latest Henrik Svensmark (peer reviewed even!) paper which Nigel Calder described on his blog (calderup.wordpress.com/):
Today the Royal Astronomical Society in London publishes (online) Henrik Svensmark’s latest paper entitled “Evidence of nearby supernovae affecting life on Earth”. After years of effort Svensmark shows how the variable frequency of stellar explosions not far from our planet has ruled over the changing fortunes of living things throughout the past half billion years. Appearing in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, It’s a giant of a paper, with 22 figures, 30 equations and about 15,000 words.
(Read the blog of the editor of “ New Scientist”, during its days as a credible source of science information, for a lengthy shredding of Appell style “science”)
If this long time science writer is correct, its pretty close to game over for “the man is guilty” Gore/Jones/Hansen/Jones school of pseudo science.
Thanks
JK
