   Interesting! Made me think immediately of the article I read today.

   Subtitle in Aug. 2, 2012 Raleigh (NC) News and Observer to the article “[Gov. Beth] Perdue lets sea-level bill become law”:

   “Controversial provision ties forcast to history, not scientific studies”

   As per Dr. Christy’s testimony, translation: Environmental groups upset that legislation was based on historical sea-level rise observed data, and not on speculative, unproved models based on presumed global warming.

   Not elegant, I admit, but that’s basically what happened.

   Have a great blogging break Pierre!
