The Internet, global warming and Al Gore

Ah, the Internet. All that wonderful information poised at your finger tips, waiting for just the right key strokes to pull it forth out of the ether for your edification and/or amusement.

But there is another side of this coin, a curse to this blessing we know as the world wide web. Because for every piece of bonified, verifiable data out there, there are probably 10 erroneous, inaccurate sources just waiting to trip us even the most intrepid of researchers.

Oh sure, they look official, citing as they do data which appears, even to the most educated of eyes, to be sound and scientific data. Don’t be too quick to accept these supposed facts, however. Because quite often they are subject to different interpretations.

Not all theories are created equal.
