FYI, there was an interesting documentary on HBO2 tonight: Too Hot Not To Handle. It's playing on HBO2 West at 10 PM CA time.

One of the people on it, Stephen Schneider, is at Stanford and I took a global climate modeling class from him. I loved his statement toward the end comparing the politicians asking for the detailed how much and when on global warming to a patient being advised by his doctor that he should lower his cholesterol and exercise due to heart disease responding with "well tell me when and how bad the heart attack will be and I'll deal with it then."

The doc. details what effects global warming are having and will likely have on the US, and also what can be done to help slow the progress of warming.
