As to the origional subject, "TheCO2 Science` Statement:
They limited their study to data from 1960 on.
I can recall a Sci. Amer. article , published in
the '50`s that linked freshwater flows in the
arctic to European climate.
The study was based on data from sediments and
historical records back several hundred years,
and showed a strong corelation.
I feel that D.A.s suspicions concerning this
group are well founded.
