radec i think you've misunderstood. the graph is made to discredit al gore's famous graph of the correlation between CO2 levels in the atmosphere and global temperature. he shows a very close correlation between the two. baker's point here is that it's possible to see a correlation where there is obviously not a causal link, since temperature is obviously not affected by the postal service rates

Whether or not global warming is true -- something I have never said couldn't be the case, but have always questioned the rush to judgment and acts by some in this world to terminate discussion -- wasn't a factor.
But yeah, correlation doesn't mean causation.

Also before any one thinks this, i'm not having a go at Baker for putting the graph up, i was having a go at the person who made the graph.
P.S
Played Quake Episode 1 today, fucking rules. Shambler owned me many times but I finally nailed em' with the Perforator (no pun intended).

sorry, the conversations pretty much taken its course... (well in my mind the graph was the beginning and the end and no more need be said)
so i thought, AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
