      A qualification don't mean shit. You have security when they are dependent on you or you are in a contract. Some employers are nice and will keep you around even though you cost them money and there is no work for you, others will fire you just because.

                  No, it's the employer's fault. They don't hire on the basis of competency.

                    I won't fault you for going to school. Personally, I'd have aimed a little higher to start but I can understand if your parents want to keep you closer to home for a while at your age.

                      I've no problem with education. I do have an issue with people going to phony private institutions and getting qualifications that dont mean shit.

                        I agree generally, but since the world is interconnected, one would expect in this instance for it to be true. IF not, as stated, these effects are eother geographically, or in some other way specific. Here, the effect is specific to large cities. Therefore it is not truly global in nature.

                          If anyone can think of a more succinct way of displaying complete and utter ignorance of all things statistical, I would like to hear it. For now, this statement tops my list.

                          In which case it ISNT global warming because what you say it true. Its global average warming.

                            That's not true, especially in a local sense. And by local I mean local in relation to a function. You can find local trends in a stochastic process that when you rescale the function the trend completely disappears. Similarly, scaling down a function can cause trends to vanish. Thus you can't expect any finite subset of a sample to display the same trend as the population. Duh.

                            Thankyou for proving a point. This then is global average warming.

                                  This is really interesting though. If a trend is a true average truly global , then that trend ought to be visible across ANY subset of that data. The fact that it isnt shows that warming is only a feature of big cities. Smaller cities and rural areas dont show the trens. Therefore the trend is NOT general, it is specific. I would love to see this research blasted across all themedia, with in depth follow ups anbd discussion. It wont be, but thats the way thebias is now. -- modified at 5:57 Tuesday 27th November, 2007

                                    To state that the world is warming would imply that at least the majority of it is. This research suggests that the warming though is limited to large population centers and is therefore not global.
