That's a lengthy essay speaking from a defensive posture with almost no relevance to anything I wrote, it seems more personal agenda validation driven. I might wonder how much of what I've written in recent years you are aware of (may I suggest very little) ?

Folks who earn a living analyzing data and applying statistical analysis understand the danger of jumping to conclusions with severely limited data points.

I used the term "real" to indicate that I too spoke to a real scientist, my comment FE Antarctica climate temperature trend is based on this meeting. You are not the sole beneficiary of these contacts. I might also suggest your statement "I am behind the times" is a grossly inadequate analysis of the state of my awareness of this conversation, based I might add on one step short of zero knowledge of my qualifications, experience or efforts to learn about the various interrelated issues we all face in this important area.

In reviewing my comment, I can't find where I spoke of the Aluminum Siding or Maple Syrup industries. You might clarify what "industry" references I cited because I can't find them. I might also ask what relevance Rush Limbaugh has to my comment as I didn't quote him, nor do I listen to him for that matter.

I do think OSB and vinyl siding is sadly lacking to protect the contents of a home during a high wind, hurricane, or tornado event. I also expect we will have more and more of increasingly strong severe weather events. It isnt the wind that hurst people, its what the wind is carrying.

As you indicate contacts in the Climate Modeling and Prediction business, I would like to know the extent of your knowledge or research about how much geothermal activity from the Mid Atlantic ridge, or the Pacific, or for that matter, and geothermal activity beneath the various continental ice packs has in not only the ocean currents but also the climate modeling?
