Just a quick one, i had a good laugh the other day, anyone who reads the daily telegraph in sydney might have seen the artical a few days ago on the front page continued on page 11, apparently, global warming wasnt causing the oceans rising.... The simple fact that we were using water and that used water entering the oceans was the cause. Lol! Looks like no one is too sure wats happening.

that a newspaper report gets the science so wrong is no surprise, science reporting in general is shoddy if not entirely misleading. have a read of some ben goldacre to get an idea of how badly it is gotten wrong.
