Thanks for a well stated & apparently knowledgeable reply. Helpful to an interested and presumably educated [but mostly unrelated - knowledgeably. Phd-EE] lurker on iVillage.
I do not claim to understand all the issues & opinions on global warming. My position, after man-years of lurking & reading on-line, is that there are lots of well-read and educated folks on both sides of the question.
It won't directly effect on my or my wife's final years. But...our kids, - and precious grand children....? Potentially a factor in their lives ahead.
Thanks again for your contribution to my understanding to the issues in this future-critical issue.
