How to convince those who believe differently ? This is the constant dilemma on this topic. More and better research. Right now there are just believers on both sides. We need less belief and more science. There will be a lot of you who disagree but John's post really SHOULD bring it home to us all. I don't know what you saw in that article. What it brought home to me was how far we are from demonstrating the connection between Mexican car exhaust and Hurricane Katrina.

And Michael Chritten (ex.sp) has written that book the name of which escapes me that pooh poohs all the global warming alarmists... Critten writes out of his politics. Which is fine but should be taken for no more than that. I read him for some time despite my political disagreement both because I liked the pace of his novels and I met him once in Cambridge where he was in grad school with one of my brothers. But the novels just got boring and preachier than I like. However, my latest enjoyable reading was W. E. B. Griffin's latest, The Hostage. His politics are definitely not mine; but he does know now to write something that keeps the pages turning. I'm looking forward to Elizabeth Korlbut's book, due out sometime this spring on global warming and fossil fuel emissions. I've read excerpts from it in The New Yorker. It's quite persuasive and alarming.
