Hm. As I'm a poor man living in a country of wealthy citizens, there's not much I can say anyway. You should only see the looks on people's faces; I'm telling you! I get scared. And dead silent.

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.

Hi,

topaz1968 seems to have done exceptionally well

A picture paints a thousand words, and these are linked to WikiPedia, which then links to loads of sources: http://globalwarmingart.com/(don't let the name fool you)

Crossed wires I'm afraid They were two separate statements.
  • I congratulate you (genuinely) on supplying such a good list.
  • I offered http://www.globalwarmingart.com which provides a lead in to the science via graphs.

Regards,
Buddy

Oh, ok. Thank you very much. And thank you very much for clearing it up. I guess I was a bit over sensitive because I had someone on another site attack me pretty bad because one of my links was a wiki link.
