Hi All

I pass on an interesting site sent from Richard Cathcart

http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/aug08/6461

which mentions that the electrical power consumed by conventional 
computers capable of producing proper climate models will itself affect 
world climate!  But there may be better designs.  Perhaps we should just 
wait another 18 months.
