viewed as climate change on Jupiter," says Adam Showman (University of
Arizona) in an article about the new Red Spot on Jupiter in the Aug. '06
issue of _Sky & Telescope_ in which the above quote appears. A

So are you suggesting that, as it becomes more and more clear that we _do_
have a very serious problem, that we should hold off on doing anything
about it while we research the idea that it's part of a larger
phenomenon? Please keep in mind that now that we know that the Arctic
(including Greenland) http://tinyurl.com/g7mxc and Antarctic ice
http://tinyurl.com/kewgu is melting much faster than previously thought
and that the time we have to take effective action (if the warming is due
to our actions) is limited.
