   Not sure this is exactly ontopic but it seemed like as good a place as any to link to an article about climate change and the scientific method. Diamond planets, climate change and the scientific method: "And yet the diamond planet has been hugely successful in igniting public curiosity about the universe in which we live. In that sense, for myself and my co-authors, I suspect it will be among the greatest discoveries of our careers. Our host institutions were thrilled with the publicity and most of us enjoyed our 15 minutes of fame. The attention we received was 100% positive, but how different that could have been. How so? Well, we could have been climate scientists."

   pbjamm: that is a delightful article. Thanks for sharing it. I hope others follow the link. I got obsessed with exoplanets a year ago because the science of detecting gases in explanet atmospheres is a logical extension of understanding our own planet's greenhouse effect. jg
