I'm just passing through here..so don't mind me.
My off the top opinion on global warming is that the Kyoto people have four hills to climb.
1) You must show that there is a real warming effect globally, using solid global data, statistically correlated and analyzed.
2) You must establish what the nature of the variation is. Is it a monotonic variation, or a periodic variation, or some quirky nonliner variation with inflection points.
3) Having done 1 and 2, you must now climb the highest hill, and show causality, and relate the cause to actions taken by man.
4) Having done 1,2,3 you must now prove that the actions can be reversed, assuming that developing nations are going to be using more oil and gas for their developing economies in the coming years.

"My off the top opinion on global warming is that the Kyoto people have four hills to climb." One more thing for them: (5)Even adherents to Kyoto admit that implementation of its accords will have a minimal effect - instead of the global temperature rising 2 degrees in the next 100 years, it would rise 1.85 degrees. Bearing in mind that the future occurence of the 2 degree projected temperature rise has not been anyhwere close to having been convincingly demonstrated.
