Is global warming effecting your dice?

Random.org using atmospheric noise to generate their random numbers. So the question I pose is: Does global warming effect the level of atmospheric noise? The consistency or inconsistency?

Just an interesting thought. Perhaps biking to work tomorrow could give me better dice.

heh. I don't think that's quite what it means. I don't know exactly what they use but it can just be the random noises in any office building I guess. My complaint is that even background noise can be a pattern. Office Space comes to mind. ("Corporate Accounts Payable Nina speaking")

And now an opinion from the anti-"CO2 is Global Warming" argument.

If the real cause of global warming is increased solar activity sweeping away cosmic radiation which causes cloud formation, then yes global warming is causing less cosmic radiation to cause random bit errors in computers causing more algorithmic random dice.
