Davos

I t looks like a bunch of folks are going to Davos, Switzerland to discuss global warming.  Jon Stewart goofed on them, telling us that 1700 private jets were going to arrive so that their occupants could worry about global warming.  There's some discrepancy in that number, and some say that the number might be as low as 200, but still that's a lot of private jets, and a huge carbon footprint for a conference that tries to make us believe that man-made global warming is a problem, especially when private jets have a huge carbon footprint.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard the news.  2014 is was the warmest year on human record, edging out 1998 by a whole tenth of a degree.  That's one-tenth of a degree Farenheit, folks.  And, there is some skepticism, when NASA gives the measurements a 38% confidence level, and NOAA gives those dame measurements a 48% confidence level.  So, I'll just park this right here.

So, even NASA and NOAA can't say with any confidence that 2014 is the warmest year of record.  Sorry guys, but even a 48% confidence level doesn't start to be convincing.  Either it was, or it wasn't.  Come back when you've got an answer.

But, until the jet-set quits flying their private jets around, talking about global warming, I'm not convinced.  If it's a problem, park the damned jets and Skype the conference.
