Ironic isn't it that just as we are girding for the geopolitical high theater which will take place in Copenhagen at the discussions of what to do about pesky old man screwing up the planet with civilization we get the disclosure that the scientific clearing ground for all of the research is up to the third button on their dainty white lab coats in mire.
