Also, it uses the Hippocratic Method of ASKING a question, instead of stating a lot of facts.
Would you believe that ...
Do you believe that ...
My example:
Did you know that NOAA edited the temperature data? <sources>
Do you realize they only ever increase/decrease the numbers according to the CO2 levels? <sources>
Btw, there is an article about it: 100% Of US Warming Is Due To NOAA Data Tampering
So I find the article interesting in that asking questions, and asking the least challenging question first might be more engaging...
But even more important. It may also remind you how people try to manipulate you. By finding common ground first (like a sales person), building rapport, and then selling to your needs.
Great article.

I learned a long time ago, that if a publication doesn't have some form of feedback, it's more than likely to be propaganda. Your link goes to what I would consider an opinion piece, no sources, no feedback. Probably the same could be said of NOAA's site, but at least the history of its published data can be researched and compared to the same data from years/decades(/a century?) before. Be discriminate when it comes to science denial, it's a thing these days with the right-wing.

I just fell for an E-mail scam
It went like this...
Jai Prakash has invited you to view the following document:
Open in Docs
I received it right in the middle of a series of phone calls and E-Mails, and the crooks guessed the right domain, and I clicked on the link.
I don't know how much damage I allowed them to do.
When I recognized the error, I immediately with to gMail and changed my password.
This occurred in about 4 or 5 minutes time; hopefully less.
Advice is eagerly accepted. Thanks.

Restore your systems drive from an earlier image. If you did not make earlier images, then I suggest you start doing so now!

Assuming you opened the mailinator spam Google Doc link, and gave it access:
In addition to changing your password, consider:Quote:
go to https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and see if "Google Doc" is listed as one of the apps that has access to your Google account.
If so, that's the fake one — the real Google Doc shouldn't appear on this page. Select the fake Google Doc and click the blue "REMOVE" button.

Did you just click on a link, or did you confirm a dialog?
If you opened a document containing macros or executed an attachment, your system should be considered compromised and wiped.

You forgot the part about plowing the plot under with salt, toxic chemical wastes, and highly radioactive materials.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you opened a VBA-enabled document, you likely have netcat, meterpreter, or another command interface installed on your system. Assume you have a root-kit installed and will need to completely frag that HD if you ever want to use it again.
If it was just a web page it'll just be an exercise in changing web passwords.
Have fun with that.

That might be somewhat regional, not sure everyone will dig it.

Serious reply here.
As a kid my grandfather gave me a JCB baseball cap, I wore that thing out but never knew what JCB stood for. He was a truck driver and farmer in rural northern Alabama so who knows how he got the cap. Thanks for bubbling up those memories Griff.
Hats off to you.

Soooooo regional.

JCB - Wiktionary[^]
It is a regional thing to refer to the machine by its brand. As you can see from the first entry, some regions might be rather confused about the idea.
