[251] Of Intergovernmental Panel on Global Warming at the Surface of the Earth

With all assignments almost done, I’m currently hyped on the upcoming Michigan versus Ohio State game.

It is sure going to be a blast. An optimist prediction, 28 against 3 in Michigan favor. That, might be biased but you could never be too biased with Ohio State.

p/s – I’m currently reading Leggett’s The Carbon War and so far, my favorite part is this:

…Back in the negotiating hall, it was doing just that. The US delegation had spent an hour and a half trying to get the words ‘climate change’ replaced with the words ‘global warming at the surface of the Earth’. There was little proof as yet, they said, that climate change would result from this warming.

The suggestion was met with barely suppressed annoyance, and, from Austria, ridicule. ‘Maybe we should change the name of the panel,’ they said, ‘to the “Intergovernmental Panel on Global Warming at the Surface of the Earth”.’

Wry laughter filled the hall.

pp/s – w00t! The Dutch is set for Portugal! Final aggregate is the Netherlands 6 and Scotland 1.

ppp/s – Ann Arbor is Overrated (AAIO), one of A²’s most famous blogs is planning a meet up. Wanna go? Mail me or leave me a msg and then we’ll wear a paper bag on our head! At the meet up, we’ll figure out how to make Annarbour (no, it’s not a typo) less suckier.

pppp/s – A friend from Minnesota told me that Poen’s father has just passed away. Be strong mate.
