Agonizing and arguing over something you can't affect (ie, AGW and Exxon) is a sure source of stress, and longterm stress is a cardiovascular killer. Designing and building electronics, on the other hand, is both satisfying and relaxing. John

I'm aware of the general figures. A very interesting paper recently came out, because it provides a greatly expanded update of estimates of global average balance of small glaciers, from Cogley, J. G., 2009, "Geodetic and direct mass-balance measurements: comparison and joint analysis." It's available, in full, here: http://www.igsoc.org/annals/50/50/a50a043.pdf Another, from Kaser et al., 2006, "Mass balance of glaciers and ice caps: Consensus estimates for 1961�2004?" is here: http://www.hydro.washington.edu/pub/lettenmaier/lettenmaier_milly_2009/kaser_et_al_grl_2006.pdf For those interested in a wonderful web page with a great many links of the papers used in the recent Copenhagen Diagnosis, I'd refer them here: http://agwobserver.wordpress.com/ It is an incredible resource of papers that won't cost a cent.

Quite a few do, right now, and it is necessary to find an explanation why they do. Given the precipitation link I posted we don't seem to have a sufficient explanation (yet). -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
