"I have a finely tuned bullshit detector and I don't see the point in wasting time with frauds, egos and those who talk a lot but deliver little. In the bush, you don't dance around and make a fuss, you call it as it is and get on with the job."
-- Ian Plimer, unrepentant skeptic and troublemaker - winner of the Eureka Science Book Prize

"Pluto's atmosphere is undergoing global cooling, while other data indicates that the surface seems to be getting slightly warmer... We cannot fully explain what has caused these dramatic changes to Pluto's atmosphere."
-- Marc Buie, Lowell Observatory
