Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann is famous for finding global warming statistical relationships that no one ever dreamed of; and, of course, the famous actor Danny "The Quake" Glover shares the same "Mannian" statistical sense about global warming and major world events. If really working together, as rumored, will their phenomenal intellectual firepower be able to connect the global warming impact with the actual oil spill? As the world is awaiting word, it's understood that Newsweek's and the AP's crack climate reporters are embedded with the dream team of Mann and Glover - peer-reviewed Twitter progress press releases will soon be available to any Barbara Boxer Facebook friends.
Despite Glover/Mann shared concerns about global warming, it's hugely unlikely that global warming actually caused the BP oil spill. As an aside though, it is fascinating to note that Mother Earth is the biggest oil spiller by far, which places the incompetents at BP in the very minor, minor leagues.
And when it comes down to the long-term significance of the BP oil spill, one should always put events like these in context. Once in context, the MSM and politician hysteria appears ludicrous, and their blame-game bordering on the absurd. (click on image to enlarge)
