Haven't looked for links to Hansen's modeling yet--holiday here. Hang in there.

Lake Taupo--what a coincidence you should mention that now. I had never heard of such until I watched an hour TV (PBS) program on NZ and the Maori culture/legends last Friday nite. Ten minutes of the program were devoted to the Taupo area and the volcanic/hotspring activity. Very interesting and you live in a very beautiful country. Is it your native land?

I must say I have to agree with you about erupting volcanos being able to change the whole equation. No argument there. We can't worry about that because there's not much we can do about it apparently.

However, we may be able to do something about the CO2 levels and its effects. My understanding of the ice age thing is that you are right about alternating periods of warming/cooling with accompanying glaciation,and in the normal(?) earth cycle of things we are supposed to be heading back to cooling. However, many scientists contend that the CO2 increase is/will change this equation and disrupt this pattern. And as you know, I'm sure, also portend dire consequences for the human activity on the planet. Others, yourself included, disagree.

But there's enough debate among scientists for concern among the rest of us mortals. Which is probably why I find myself here.
