To begin with, recently there was a 'documentary' where a certain 'scientist' was very insistent that there was a BLACK HOLE inthe ocean off the coast of Florida simply because his scientific instruments detected gravometric anomolaties at certain spots while driving his boat around the area. Well DUH, I recon if there was was an actual BLACK HOLE on earth then we'd all be sucked into it by now since that is its primary characteristics!!
The second booby prize goes to another Global Warming zealot who was trying to find a way to send off TRILLIONS of refracting lenses into space in front of the earth orbit so that these will lessen the amount of sunlight hitting the earth and thereby slow global warming!!
The projected cost (hold on here) would be in the region of some $50 trillion dollars ($50,000,000,000,000) over 25 years and would require almost the entire planet's GDP to finance it!! He reasoned that any amount is worth it to save the planet, however that assumes that GLobal Warming is gospel truth which it is not!!
I happened to stumble across that "documentary" on the History channel. I went from amused, to pissed off, to screaming at the TV, as they kept bringing this moron back on as an authoritative source.
