I definitely can't intelligently discuss this topic, but those participating
in this thread might be interested in the latest issue (August/September
2004) of THE INDUSTRIAL PHYSICIST magazine (www.tipmagazine). I received
this issue (paper magazine) a few days ago and immediately thought about
this thread on the PICList.

You should be able to get the PDF version of the article here:

In the "Letters" section, there are a lot of web links that people might be
interested in checking out. I'm happy to report that the links in the paper
magazine are conveniently placed online:

There's also an article in the "Features" section:

Narrowing uncertainty in global climate change
----------------------------------------------
by Chris Forest, Mort Webster, and John Reilly

"A series of linked computer models at MIT is being used to predict the
likelihood of serious climate change with and without policies to stabilize
atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide."


There was also a previous article in the June/July issue (same magazine)
titled: "Millennia of global warming".


Best regards and happy reading,

Ken Pergola
