These opinions may be safely ignored. It's the teenage girl of science. Certain climate scientists tend to carry on like teens, too, as anyone who has read the bitchy emails collected in the Climategate files will know.

Horrible sceptics like me occasionally note what we believe are exaggerations from climate science types. Also, you are talking to a teenage girl.

Climate science is relatively new to the science realm, at least compared to more established fields such as geology. Earlier this year we were told that climate scientists at the Australian National University were so traumatised by so-called death threats that they'd removed their names from staff directories and office doors, relocated to more secure buildings, declined meetings unless accompanied by guards, installed upgraded home security systems and switched to unlisted phone numbers.

Both the threats ("we will get extremely organised and precise against you") and the responses turned out to be slightly on the exaggerated side. Some of the alleged threats were so old that they dated back to when John Howard was prime minister.

Most Boston sports fans are familiar with the story of Travis Roy, the promising young forward from Yarmouth, Maine whose college hockey career at Boston University lasted just 11 seconds before he suffered a tragic fall and was paralyzed from the neck down.

And now, the rest of the nation is going to be made familiar with his story as well.

Roy, who is the latest athlete featured in Buick’s Human Highlight Reel , a collaborative effort with the NCAA, stopped by Digitas Boston headquarters on Monday afternoon to share the video that he’s featured in and also to offer some of his story to Digitas employees, who came out in droves to listen.

Roy, who lost control of his arms and legs but never his spirit or sense of humor, joked as the audio from his video continued over his introduction to the crowd that “I’m glad it happened with me and not one of your clients.”

Roy was an easy selection for the Human Highlight Reel, in large part because of the emotional connection to his story and his always positive attitude.

Said Barbara Goose, Digitas Boston’s Executive Director, “Travis’ story aligns so well with stories of human achievement,” and that his selection was a no-brainer. Digitas does get to help Buick select who will be featured in the documentaries, and Roy hit on all the important points.
