If you haven't edited, this is the one to use. Just for the record, here's what I did with Keith/Valerie's suggestions for the exec summary: accepted them all (perhaps with a tweak or two), except: 1) kept "pre-Quaternary" instead of "ancient" - the latter is too vague. 2) the LIG ice sheet/sea level bullet wasn't changed as much as you'd like because it is the result of lots of cross-chapter word tweaking with Susan Solomon, Chap 10, Chap 5 and WGII. I did add "south" since that's where the large-scale retreat likely took place. I left the reference to fast sea level rise based on the papers cited (or to be - need to check) in the text. Again, this last line was subject to much negotiation w/ other chapters and WGII. 3) I kept the sulfate bullet, but did rewrite because it was confusing. This bullet is likely linked to the TS/SPM, so it's pretty important. 4) kept the monsoon bullet in the last 2000 years section, since that's when the change referred to likely happened. I'm thinking about deleting this bullet, however, since the evidence isn't as strong as that behind other bullets. (btw, Keith - sorry I forgot to delete that phrase about solar and volcanic forcing in the 20th century - glad Valerie caught it) Thanks, Peck >Dear all, > >Please find attached my suggestions for the exec >summary - the rest to follow within 1 hour. > >Peck, could you and Julie work on the link >between the paleo ENSO section and the chapter >dealing with the realism of ENSO in the climate >models + also mention the past ENSO data from >New Zealand and Australia ?
