You know, Bruce...you are no doubt correct that 'some' have mis-stated at times the finer points about what reducing CO2..and other measures.. will accomplish. I do not believe I have seen any major players (especially Al Gore) actually claim, under cross examination, that it will ***STOP*** global warming. If there are careless suggestions made that give false impressions, they should be corrected, of course.....but ****NOT**** (my asterisks, I didn't use any of yours!) at the expense of losing the point that human beings are exacerbating the problem!

   You have railed against this little issue until folks were puzzled as to what you were actually upset about. It seems to me that if folks get it thru their heads that they need to BOTH reduce their contribution to the overall problem AND prepare for the possible consequences of the warming in general, all interests will have been served. If we all do the very best we can, maybe those who were overly enthusiastic can be forgiven their little exuberant transgressions, hmmmm?
