Has anyone noticed how wrong the scientific community always is -- about everything? Coffee is bad for you; coffee is good for you. Eggs will kill you; eggs won't bother you. We're going to have another Ice Age; the ice caps are going to melt and drown us all.
And now we have this:
LONDON (Reuters) - Climate shifts were probably responsible for the extinction of the mammoth and other species more than 10,000 years ago, not over-hunting by humans, according to new research published on Wednesday.
Radiocarbon dating of 600 bones of bison, moose and humans that survived the mass extinction and remains of the mammoth and wild horse which did not, suggests humans were not responsible.
And here I thought it was the humans and their coal-fueled factories and SUV's who killed off those cool mammoth (mammoths?). Fred Flintstone, you're off the hook.

Lone Ranger, thanks for making the point. Let's not forget the bird flu pandemic. If science cannot correctly assess the near term, what does that tell us about the mankind caused global warming predictions of the eminent scientist Al Gore?
We already know what will happen. Look what happened when the scientific community treated the AIDS pandemic as a social issue rather than a disease.
