<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 4169881, member: 21705&quot;]This is definitely where I depart company from the &quot;scientific&quot; community. I have studied Meteorology and climatology for forty years and Man caused climate change is a scam to get funding. </p><p><br /></p><p>Natural cycles of climate change are so long that as each shifts, the broken record of coldest/hottest/wettest or driest gets repeated. The records are not long enough or accurate enough to come to that conclusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>But studying it reaps huge rewards for scientists who shape questions to reach conclusions desired by those funding it. Technically, sea levels will rise if anyone spits into the ocean. But the scales are so enormous it makes no real difference. But you don&#039;t get grants with honesty, just with hyperbole.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am on the opposite side&nbsp; at times. </p><p><br /></p><p>But back to the discussion at hand, the frequency of counterfeits in legitimate slabs has caused a reaction which causes closer examination. The reaction of the counterfeiters is logically to counterfeit the slabs as well. So ignore this growing problem at your own risk and the risk of the hobby itself. I do not believe this is hyperbole when I suggest it it an existential threat to the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for a second last word, but the man caused climate change hoax is a pet peive of mine. So called scientists do irreparable harm when they sell out their objectivity for mere funding. Scientific no longer means objective and it&#039;s a shame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
