Fears are rising in Australia that the island continent, like the Titanic, may sink into the Pacific Ocean after being struck by the gigantic iceberg, B17B. The killer berg broke from an Antarctic ice shelf in 2000 and is headed directly for Oz... or maybe not.

Hear me now oh thou bleak and unbearable world Thou art base and debauched as can be And a knight with his banners all bravely unfurled Now hurls down his gauntlet to thee! I am I, Don Quixote, the Lord of La Mancha Destroyer of Evil am I, I will march to the sound of the trumpets of glory Forever to conquer or die Hear me heathens and wizards and serpents of sin All your dastardly doings are past For a holy endeavor is now to begin And virtue shall triumph at last!

"Of all the things he is cancelling, I think the worst is cancelling the lunch with the king," said Siv Jensen, the leader of the largest party in opposition, the populist Progress party.

The e-mails show some of the world's top experts decided to exclude or manipulate some research that didn't help prove global warming exists.From Betsy's Page today, Garbage in, Garbage out, the BBC investigated the base coding that was used to collate the climate data.
1998 was the hottest year since record-keeping began...but the temperature went down the next year, and it's only spiked a couple times since.
An e-mail exchange in 1999 shows scientists worked hard to demonstrate an upward trend. They talk of using a "trick" to "hide the decline" in global temperatures.
It worked like this: when temperature readings extrapolated from tree rings showed what looked like a decline in temperatures from the 1980s to the present, the scientists added in measurements taken later by more modern instruments, which gave them the answer they wanted.
The scientists say the e-mails are being misinterpreted.
Dominoes of fraud are falling faster than temperatures.
