The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is nearly ready with a major new report that I hope everyone will watch for and read. They say they have narrowed down the ranges on their predictions from climate models on future affects. The report has had 2500+ expert scientific reviewers, 800+ contributing authors and 450+ lead authors from 130+ countries, and includes 6 years of work in 4 volumes. The first volume will be released in Paris on February 2, 07, please... everyone... watch for it and read it.
