Rich, Calling my opposing argument “trash”, and then falsely linking it to unrelated theories on vaccines, evolution, moon landings, and dietary supplements, is intellectually dishonest and professionally rude. Why don’t you respond to the facts raised in the article? Does your religion not permit that? Either weather events are getting worse, or they aren’t. I provided solid evidence that they are diminishing. The truth of this issue is important to NANOG, because we build the infrastructure that runs the Internet, and we can’t afford to waste finite resources on alarmist claims. -mel

Also, the earth is 6,000 years old (and flat), the moon landings were faked, creationism is real, dinosaurs and humans co-existed, vaccines cause autism, Elvis is alive, and...how does that line go? Oh, right: artificial sweeteners are safe, WMDs were in Iraq, and Anna Nicole married for love. [shout-out to Levon Helm] This trash doesn't deserve rebuttal: it deserves ridicule. ---rsk
