- Ardit20 16y agoNo, its just that when you cry wolf so many times, no one believes you when the wolf actually turns up.
- epochwolf 16y agoyo :)
- jayro 16y agoNow that was funny. LOL
- Ardit20 16y agocommon, wolves can't type!

- jbooth 16y agoYou look like you could use a hug.
- gwern 16y agoNo. I don't see how you could possibly extract any such interpretation out of my comment. A prominent pundit^Wrespected scientist has made a prediction; I am merely recording it for later judgment.
- jbooth 16y agoYeah, except as noted above, it's a pretty solid prediction. We're mandated to sell all of this stuff by 2015. Absent a change in the law, it seems like a good guess that we'll sell it by 2015. This is not climate science, you don't have to have a chip on your shoulder -- you can objectively evaluate this evidence if you choose to do so.
