Those scientists are such wags, aren't they?  They're making it up as they go along.

well that's science - you complete an analysis on a new set of data and give a conclusion, thus the actual answer will be forever iterated on.

Personally I'd not believe a word FoxNews has to say on anything, particularly science. It is either a misinterpretation of what the actual scientists said, cause the news people are too stupid to understand any real science, or a political news story.

It just depends on how they can best raise funding for what they want to do at any given time IMHO ;D
