More bogus polls?

Back in November I did a thingy on what I considered a bogus poll. Livescience claimed people were more concerned with global warming than almost anything else. Well, it was a limited list. I even posted a graph of my evidence of why I thought it was bogus. It looked something [...]

Scientists predicted another huge hurricane season. Just like they did last year. Only problem with last year was there were basically no hurricanes. They told us to not stop worrying tho, 2007 was going to be intense as well. Sure enough, before the hurricane season could even start, along came Andrea [...]

Mrs. Moon recently mis-heard or mis-read something that gave her the impression we only had about five million years left to live on Earth due to our Sun giving out. So, she did some research and I did as well. This is what I found:

See those numbers following “Birth”? That’s in billions [...]
