Strange Claim: The Sun Rose 2 Days Early in Greenland
« on: January 19, 2011, 10:52 »

Er... what?  36 hours, and I'd have been impressed.  :dunno:

will read it and comment in more detail but from my quick glance.

b******t. People got it wrong. Or just an optical illusion. I expect it was people who got it wrong... now if there were photos of it with GPS timing then I'd possibly conced the point. Its interesting that Alaska didn't see it, though.

And climate change - lol. yeah that's causes the sun todo what now?

My first reaction was that it is a publicity stunt to attract tourists.  I don't think I've changed my stance.   ;D
