I am beginning to wonder what the current market price for a left foot actually would be? Would there be a different value based on size, color, gender, etc.? I would probably want to pay more for an Arab foot, but assume they would be in greater supply than say left feet from Wyoming.

LOL. We'll just have to set up a left-foot trading market and see how the market prices it. Just keep the UN's right or left hand out of my pocket :)

I have a climate change / climate modelling related question for you:

I have read that climate records that extend back further than 4 million years are irrelevant. Naturally this is coming from the AGW camp who want to ignore that 250 million years ago CO2 levels appear to have been very high.

The basis of this argument (and it does seem plausible) is that 4 million years ago the North and South American continents combined creating a distinct Atlantic and Pacific Ocean and thus dramatically altering global weather patters and therefore the biological carbon cycle.

Then the argument goes on to say that ice core records (only 2 million years worth, but extrapolated to 4 million) do not indicate that the earth has been outside of the 180 - 280 ppm envelope in that time period. Thus to be outside of that envelope is very dangerous.

There are a lot of extrapolations and estimates in this, but the basic premise of the separation of Atlantic and Pacific and limiting back tracking to 4 million years does not seem obsurd to me.

What are your thoughts?
