i wouldnt exactly say that its good for miners since you've now put in light that we are happy that he did so. which im not, a human life is worth more to me that my pc being used for mining

Good news for miners. Another previous pro-AGW scientist jumps off the AGW train due to decades of weather balloon data. So you can keep mining with a good conscience if criticized for producing CO2 ;-)

I hold a similar position: yes, global warming exists, but empirical evidence has proved that it is too small to be of concern and that it's not a run-away effect, but rather natural processes in the earth and biosphere counter act temperature increases.

in the first place, mining is less carbon-intensive than any form of physical wealth accumulation i know of.

in the second place, David Evans is a denialist, and has always been so.  he's made a cottage-industry out of claiming to recant his 'pro-AGW views'.  over and over and over again.  see:

in the third place, he is nothing even resembling a working climate scientist.

and fourthly, he's wrong.

Don't worry. The part about jumping off a train was a metaphor.

A working scientist would have known that the raw data has been corrected to correct for weather stations in warm urban locations (for decades now).

Oh it was? forgive me my stupidity!
