And on the other hand.  . .  .  (Not that I have the slightest idea how fast the little buggers can move.)

I did.  Your point?  That it is now a fact, because of a different analysis done a couple of weeks later?  My point is only that there is a competing view.  For example.

Again, I have no idea how fast neutrinos can go.

So these neutrinos should have been spraying out particles like electrons and photons in a similar way if they were going superluminal – and in the process would be losing energy. But they seemed to have kept the energy they started from, which rules out faster-than-light travel."

"Should" and "Seemed", highly scientific bit that; not quite the accepted method of disproving measured results.  Further proof that (even?)  the most educated of minds have issues with change and will deny it to the bloody end.

No doubt.  Just like climate change.

Interesting thing that Climate Change, it has been a continuing event since the birth of the planet.  However, I like some of the results of this current fear-mentality; plastic bags being banned in my local grocery is good.

However someone needs to stand up and state that the problem is consumption and that buying new "hybrid" toys actually does more damage than continuing to drive your old SUV.
