I always wonder if all these studies into what kills you, count the same people. So the first lot look for smokers and cancer or COPD, the find x%. Then those looking at pollution deaths count the same people. Another team looks at sausages and bacon and conclude that at least some of those people were killed by their diet. And so on.

It's depressingly common among people looking for something bad, using statistical data-mining after the style of the green-jelly bean hypothesis.

When drug companies do this with a drug that has failed a clinical trial of it's primary purpose, the FDA takes a dim view. They are required to do a new clinical trial to detect the specific effect and, low and behold, the effect often disappears.

Does this prove that the search for missing heat can be drawn to a close after £billion$ have been wasted? Was Trenberth holding his calculator AND thermometer upside down?

If you believe Climate and Medical Science propaganda, Mars has a better atmosphere than London. It is a miracle anyone can survive in London at all.

Probably faulty equipment but something that looks like a cold eruption from the sea floor. It demonstrates how vulnerable the whole thing is to flaws. Unless it's real, in which case WTH!
