I just finished my draft of my presentation for Princeton where I'll be visiting from 6-16 Jan at the Carbon Mitigation Center. It's titled "What would you tell Bush about climate change". The key point is that climate change is real but not as bad as the greenies think and possibly easier to solve than most of the economists think. Kind of like my attitude to stock market crashes, terrorism etc. come to think of it :)

"Executive Summary"

1. Global climate change in the last 150 years is real and is largely anthropogenic
2. The climate sensitivity (to increases in carbon dioxide) is near the lower end of the suggested range
3. Adjustment to radiative forcing (effect of greenhouse gases) may be faster than believed
4. Stabilizing the climate may require smaller emissions cuts than believed
5. Reducing emissions is easiest through technical change and can be achieved in both developed and developing countries
