That's a matter of opinion.

Dr. Robert J. Charlson, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the
University of Washington and an author of a commentary that
accompanied the three papers, said, "This set of papers, taken
together, calls attention for more emphasis on research in these
topics."

But he added, "Unfortunately, impediments have come up." Four
years' worth of data from the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite is
unanalyzed, he said, because there is no money for scientists to work
with it.

Another satellite, the Deep Space Climate Observatory, which was
scheduled to be launched on a space shuttle, awaits in storage.
Proposed budget cuts in earth science research at NASA could limit
the analysis of data from other satellites, Dr. Charlson said.


Funny how the most spendthift administration the US has ever had wants to
make cuts in those programmes that might reveal the facts that are
unpapteable to their pro-oil and never-mind-about-climate-change agenda...

Of course....What do you expect? And the Democrats suppress statistics that
show its give away programs don't have any permanent effect on the overall
poverty level. Each administration turns its back on, and ignores
information that is contradictory to its avowed political agenda.

No, that's a matter of FACT - and common, on-line courtesy.

Those that REFUSE to edit (snip, trim, whatever) their quotes are LAZY - pure
and simple.

Please show me that information.


It was academic rersearch by a climatologist quoted on a BBC documentary
recently, along with an interview with him and otherw working in the field.
Unfortunately that means that I don't remember the name, nor do I have a
written reference to cite. I imagine an online search would turn it up.

Some scientists have reported that from 1960 to 1990, the amount of
sunshine reaching the ground decreased at a rate of 2 percent to 3
percent per decade.

In some places, the brightening of the 1990's has more than offset the
dimming, Dr. Wild said. In other places, like Hong Kong, which lost more
than a third of its sunlight, the dimming has leveled off, but skies
remain darker than in the past. In a few places, like India, the dimming
trend continues, he said.


So how many stops does this translate into in terms of improved camera
performance?

OK. Sorry for the OT rant (snipping, etc).

Perhaps this ahem "global brightening" with cause my 20D+580EX to PROPERLY
expose the "frame".

HA!

I know you folks spell words a little differently from us, but what is
unpapteable?

It's prabably due to the erruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines mid '91. That was a
major erruption, It dropped the avg. Earth temperature and blocked a small percentage of
light from reaching the earth due to the large quantity of dust thrown into the upper
atmosphere.

The article states that they're trying to figure out the "why".

Cheers,

PS: A little snipping would have gone a long way there David.

Netcop Browne strikes again!
