Ecolog: I don't know how good a summary this is, but it appears to be a well- (ill-) timed can of worms, pitting global-warming believers and deniers against each other, catching science in the middle. In reading the various comments cited in these two summaries, it is apparent that there are cooler heads within the scientific community who have offered reasoned comment on the "controversy," but I know of no comprehensive statement in the "popular" press that settles the issue. This, I suspect, will be essential to restore credibility, not only to the CR community, but to science itself. I have a lot of questions, but only guesses for answers. I hope someone knows of a statement that is comprehensive, that anticipates my questions. WT
