Hi Rolf (and others),
This will be the last time I bump this topic up, as I really should be re-stitching my tramp etc. in preparation for the ice to come off the lake.
If you liked the hockey stick article, the author co-wrote a book called "Taken By Storm - The Troubled Science, Policy and Politics of Global Warming". Highly recommended reading, whether you agree with their connclusions or not. I laughed out loud repeatedly throughout the book.
I would challenge anyone to read this book all the way through, and then come back and express support for Kyoto or Kyoto-like treaties.
Cheers,
Al
Ps. They do address your carbon dioxide argument above in the chapter "Flat Beer".
