I know a programmer who worked on some of the computer modeling of global warming a few years ago. He said there was no straight forward answer on but that the scientists were always annoyed with the press trying to get one out of them. On 05/24/2011 01:23 PM, wayback71 wrote: Good read.

Adya Shanti came to Fairfield recently and spoke in the Sondheim Center for $15 per head, essentially covering the overhead of the place and his coming. There were several hundred there listening. Not real spiritual 'movement' present or much by way of pricey products present. No shills.
