Hi Joe, Brian, EnviroNetrs,

If CNN is right, I like the report already and it is going to create controversy 
and mucho opportunities for nay sayers both scientists, politicans, and 
journalists. Nay sayers making money off the deal in the short term, yet money 
just the same. The only hope is that tick by tick predictions come true.

It is nearly impossible for us as humans in our everyday world to imagine that 
1.8 average global degrees can lead to any devastation anyplace. As an 
example of common thinking and experience, I walk from my kitchen to my 
study and I experience a greater temperature change than 1.8 (about 3 to 6 
in my case), so how can 1.8 create devastation would be a question in my 
average mind. And Joe, we have wider swings of temperature between winter 
and summer than 1.8.

SO, How the public will be convinced to do something and vote that 
something, will be interesting.


Yours in Engineering, Dave

P.S. My argument for Global Warming, that I have written before, is quite 
simply mathematical equation writing.  2.2 Billion people existed on this planet 
when I was young. Those people have advanced in stature a bit more beyond 
animals than their ancestors and consume resources and generate energy. In 
addition we are now, in 2007, far beyond 2.2 Billion humans. As far as I know 
nothing has balanced the equation in the demoninator to offset human 
population growth. SO We have to be warming the room or bed we are sitting 
in by pure mathematics.
