Hi Frako,
I don't have time to look at the report itself at the moment, but just be aware that the Daily Mail is almost exclusively an alarmist and reactionary tabloid, that likes nothing better than to scare its well off, ageing and conservative readership. (Think Fox News on paper, but with an upper class English accent, an obsession about immigration, and a fond and hazy reminiscence about any stage in history pre the 1960s).
I'm not suggesting complacency about the issues they refer too - just an awareness that nothing sells an edition of the Daily Mail better than a good doomsday scenario ;-)
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
