Subject: RE: BS: Global Warming- CERN says not man-made
If you can be bothered to plough through the load of hysterical, paranoid bollocks from the tiresome, right wing American 'science jock', James Delingpole you will come to a link to an article, by Pallab Ghosh, about the CERN results, on the BBC website. Delingpole dismisses this article as follows: "As you'd expect the BBC remains dutifully on message". But, as I'd expect, the BBC article is balanced and thoughtful and doesn't jump to politically biased conclusions. Here's a quote:

"The first results from the Cloud experiment at Cern show that cosmic rays cause a ten-fold increase in the formation rate of nanometre-sized aerosol particles. However, Dr Kirkby stressed that these particles are still far too small to seed clouds and so it is premature to conclude that cosmic rays have a significant influence on climate."

I will await further results before I jump to conclusions. But I am willing to conclude that I'm heartily sick of hysterical right wing Americans!
