[Aqualist] Interesting new research [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Roger Jones]

Henk and All,

The news reporting is unfortunate because it focuses on the speculation, not the science (which is interesting). Links to papers and abstracts of this work can be obtained from the science news site (which does the same type of reporting)

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/335168/title/Columbus_blamed_for_Little_Ice_Age

Gee, this sort of news reporting where the lead is through the speculative aspects, not the reasonable conclusion, is harmful to climate science
