In an editorial accompanying the study, Nita Forouhi, a researcher at the epidemiology unit
of the University
of Cambridge, said that the Chinese study has a
number of strengths but that the dietary survey contained only «crudely measured» categories (red meat, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits) so it was unable to take into
account other dietary habits that might have impacted the results, and that the quantity and strength
of the chili consumed was also
unknown.
No GCM data or feedback inputs can possibly take
account of the huge
number of unknown variables that occur within and
of our solar system, never mind the inestimable cosmic activities taking place in the galactic environment that directly impinge upon the Earth's climate system.
