Some thoughts upon reading the article...

I wonder which "arm of the Milky Way" we "passed through", and what
area of "intensive star creation" we passed through. Celestial mechanics
and time-scales being what they are, the answer would (should) be obvious.

BTW, we are IN an arm of the Milky way, there are no other nearby
galaxies, save Andromeda, which although rushing toward us, is still
comfortably far away. Perhaps the Magellanic clouds?

I notice on page 56 of the article - page 6 of the he pulls out the
political trump card.

Quote from article:

"The Mann et al. papers had a political edge: They served as
a counterweight against President George W. Bush’s negative
stand toward the Kyoto Protocol as “fatally flawed,” and his
attempt to lessen the economic global catastrophe that Kyoto
would induce".

WELL! At least this fine fellow wasn't being political!!!

Sorry Cecil, as a political piece, this has some merit. As science, it
treads dangerously close to creationism.


And in the end, it fails to explain what I want all along. That is:


The effect of Differing amounts of CO2 on atmospheric thermal retention
has been a well documented fact since the 1840's. Assuming that there is
no effect on the global temperatures from combustion that releases more
CO2 into the atmosphere than would normally happen, what is the
mechanism that compensates for this release?

I've heard a few things, such as increased planktonic or increased
vegetation sequestering, but shouldn't that keep a pretty
tight, ie close control over the situation?
