Met Office releases new figures which show no warming in 15 yearsMet = UK's National Weather Service"The supposed ?consensus? on man-made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th Century.Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997."Guess What? There's controversy!Read more: Mikek

There's no element of role modelling involved. I know stuff in areas that you don't - you make an ass of yourself from time to time, and I point this out to the less sophisticated public who might not be immediately aware of this, and could end up with egg on their face if they took you seriously.

A role model exhibits behaviour that the target audience ought to emulate. I wouldn't recommend anybody to spend the time I've spent acquiring a broad (if patchy) general education. I do it for fun and it probably counts as a self-indulgence.

Telling people that they have screwed up isn't a great career booster either. You are getting into whistle-blower territory, which isn't a good place to be.

You've posted more here than anybody else - 28298 posts so far. Quite a bit of it has been about electronics, so you may have posted more electronics than anybody else. Jim Thompson is third, with 17611, so with only 62% of the posts to start with, to end up ahead he'd have had to post a much higher proportion of electronics than you do, which isn't my impression.

By the same token you've almost certainly also posted more off-topic rubbish than anybody else.
