I'd been looking for that study, believe it or not. Now I have the ammo to tell my Al Gore loving friends that he is a phony.

OT, but important. get informed. we are in deep shit. this is bigger than peak oil. David Archibald, Australia. Geologist with Summa Development Limited. Associated with Australia's Lavoisier Group, which was established specifically to be skeptical of climate change. The group receives funding from the coal and oil industry. sourcewatch.org .................... realclimate.org realclimate.org environment.newscientist.com realclimate.org ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu what i liked about this book was that he discusses the scientific studies concerning a specific topic, describing where they agree and disagree. he then essentially describes what to expect in the future based on the study that is "most reasonable" (my quotes). excellent book. amazon.com In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a landmark report projecting average global surface temperatures to rise between 1.4 degrees and 5.8 degrees Celsius (roughly 2 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century. Based on this forecast, author Mark Lynas outlines what to expect from a warming world, degree by degree. At 1 degree Celsius, most coral reefs and many mountain glaciers will be lost. A 3-degree rise would spell the collapse of the Amazon rainforest, disappearance of Greenland's ice sheet, and the creation of deserts across the Midwestern United States and southern Africa. A 6-degree increase would eliminate most life on Earth, including much of humanity. Based on authoritative scientific articles, the latest computer models, and information about past warm events in Earth history, Six Degrees promises to be an eye-opening warning that humanity will ignore at its peril.
