Ancient Antarctic ice challenges climate change theories (Agence France-Presse, Sep 13, 2002)

The new study indicates Antarctica could be the real driver of climate change or that changes in the two hemispheres are not connected at all, said Van Ommen, a senior research scientist at the Australian Antarctic Division and the Antarctic Cooperative Research Center.

Researchers said the findings underscored our lack of understanding of the exact mechanisms behind climate change and would force a rethink of computer models used to predict future environmental shifts.

Does anything better explain the conservative impulse than the sight of most of the world and half our own fellow citizens trying to make such sweeping changes as those in the Kyoto Treaty based on so little knowledge of what's going on, if anything?
