It seems that tyhe Bush War on Science has reached the head of NASA. Its head, Michael Griffin, has stated he isn't sure that global warming 'is a problem we must wrestle with'. Given his boss, Bush's, attitude to the subject and the cuts he's put on the earth observation programme I can't say I'm surprised by the pronouncement, but its still an indication of how much the credibility of NASA has fallen. Griffin would do well to listen to his own scientists but these are the same people that Bush is tying to censor.

The Royal Astronomical Society, my own professional body, has fired back with a call by its president for Griffin to withdraw these comments.

So the story bounced from interzone has now been sent to Darker Matter. We'll see how it goes.

Meanwhile, now that the gout seems to have gone away, I seem to have slightly put my back out. I think this is only muscular as I'm getting no tingling or numbness, and it does seem to ge gradually easing. Its not the first time I've done this, but its a long time since its happened. I spsuect all the odd walking thanks to my big toe is at fault.

At least it hasn't ruined a lovely couyple of days away with purplrtigron in Glucestershire, though I suspect carrying bags around there may have contributed.

Now, off to lie down for a bit.

Gods, I feel like a physical disaster area at the moment.
