Dear All,

perhaps of interest, there is a 30+ page article in this week's TIME 
magazine on global warming.  The title, splashed out over the cover 
is "Be worried, be very worried".

For me the most disappointing statistic in the whole article was 
this:  in a poll (which I suspect was an American poll), 85% of 
respondents now believe that global warming is happening, but, 64% of 
respondents believe that scientists have "a lot of disgreement" about 
global warming.  Somewhat depressing that despite the best efforts of 
IPCC and others, we scientists are still seen as a dithering, 
chaotic, and disagreeing lot...

Cheers,
Andrew
