As everyone is probably by now aware, Friday, February 2, 2007 marks the release of the IPCC's political document: Assessment Report 4, Summary for Policymakers. The media seem to be operating under the misapprehension this is equivalent to the release of IPCC Working Group I Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis -- this is regrettably neither true nor even close to the truth. Bizarrely, the actual report will be retained for another three months to facilitate editing -- to suit the summary! IPCC procedures state that: Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter (Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, p4/15) -- this is surely unacceptable and would not be tolerated in virtually any other field (witness the media frenzy because language was allegedly altered in some US climate reports).
Under the circumstances we feel we have no choice but to publicly release the second-order draft report documents so that everyone has at least the chance to compare the summary statements with the underlying documentation. It should not be necessary for us to break embargo and post raw drafts for you to verify a summary of publicly funded documentation (tax payers around the world have paid billions of dollars for this effort -- you own it and you should be able to access it).
Reluctantly then, here is the link to our archive copy of the second-order draft of IPCC Working Group I Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. The second-order draft was distributed in 2006, 5 years into what has so far been a 6 year process and these copies were archived last May.
Global Warming or as it is also now known Climate Change is entirely 100% political. Global warming, the physical reality might be as much as 25% manmade.

OK I`ll bite,
1. What percentage of total greenhouse gases are natural?
2. What amount,in percentage, of total greenhouse gases are caused by water vapor?
3. What total percentage of greenhouse gases are man made?
More importantly,what percentage of CO2 is man-made ? What percentge of CH4 and N2O are man made? Should we ban cows?
4. If Kyoto were adhered to, what total reduction of temperature would result ?
100% of Global Warming is a legal entity and is manmade except for the parts suggested by Satan.

try .0000025% "manmade"

Try 100% manmade.
The U.N. follies from your link :
"Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter."
Surely science has not degenerated to the point that research must now conform to pre-released summaries, even in the purely political IPCC.
you didn`t answer :
1. What percentage of total greenhouse gases are natural?
2. What amount,in percentage, of total greenhouse gases are caused by water vapor?
3. What total percentage of greenhouse gases are man made?
More importantly,what percentage of CO2 is man-made ? What percentge of CH4 and N2O are man made?
4. If Kyoto were adhered to, what total reduction of temperature would result ?
The questions are irrelevant.
On what do you base your 100% figure?
Missed your first post. Sorry
We created Global Warming. It is a Treaty.
I disagree.
You said, " Global warming, the physical reality might be as much as 25% manmade."
So I challenged you and said :
1. What percentage of total greenhouse gases are natural?
2. What amount,in percentage, of total greenhouse gases are caused by water vapor?
3. What total percentage of greenhouse gases are man made?
More importantly,what percentage of CO2 is man-made ? What percentge of CH4 and N2O are man made?
4. If Kyoto were adhered to, what total reduction of temperature would result ?
The questions are not formulated correctly. The matter is legal, not scientific. Not that we have a clue about scientific models anyway, but they don't matter.
I would bet that 90% of the lurkers have not yet separated Global Warming from global warming. We can make little sense of the Democrat Party stance on this or the UN or France unless we see that the Treaty is an entity unto itself and has nothing to do with science.
What percentage of the entire atmosphere is greenhouse gases.
3. What total percentage of greenhouse gases are man made? More importantly,what percentage of CO2 is man-made ? What percentge of CH4 and N2O are man made? Should we ban cows?
What is the percentage of "man-made" greenhouse gases, to the entire Earths atmosphere.
