Hi Chuck, Joe, Brian, IPC LF Listservers,

I am actually looking for something else on the Journalism front and
happened to find this article in the Columbia Journalism Review, CJR is one
of the premier places to read gripes and criticisms on Journalism.

Anyway, the below is mostly a testimonial from a paper writen for the
natives on the Artic climate changes, yet still interesting to us. Also
what is interesting is how they are having to adapt to the changes and the
competition for OIL that will come out of a Canadian company as it gets
easier to work the artic for money.

And another, which takes us in an opposing direction says that if a big
volcano blowed we could have cooler temperatures for a longer period than
the eruption. This is from UK's Open University + others. Of course no one
wants us to stoke a volcano since we need Vitamin D from the Sun Skin
interaction.

This was in Science News 18Jun2005, capsuling a report from GeoPhysical
Research Letters. Basically sulfates form in the atmosphere rain down as
acid rain and slow down methane emissions from bogs was tried out as an
experiment in Scotland. Methane emissions increase global warming. The 1783
eruption of Laki is listed as pumping out 10 times the sulfates that
Western Europe produces collectively in one year.. Based on other reading I
bet our buddy Pb (lead) also spewed out at a goodly rate.

A conclusion is that Global Warming Science is complex science

The below should take you to the abstract on Gp R L.

P.S. I have another article someplace on some sea bacteria that might have
caused part of the ice age. Fun stuff.
