Having been away from this nuthouse for a day or so, I've been
entertained by some of the utter idiocy in this thread. Leaving the
extremes aside, though, I'm a tad curious about your question. At
this stage of the research, inasmuch as the scientific community has
only recently accepted the GW premise as a certainty, I'm kinda
doubtful that the firm estimate you seek is even possible at this
time.

Based on what little I recall from my readings, I believe the general
scientific opinion is that the human race has it in its power to
significantly reduce or halt GW.

I was right with you until now. If we don't have an estimate of the human
contribution to global warming, how do we know if its in our power to
reduce or halt it through conservation efforts? I'm still trying to catch
up with the '70s projections of an ice-age, and the giaia (sp?) flower-
world model that said increased temperature lead to increased cloud cover
lead to decreased temperature.

Again, I don't doubt global warming, but I'd really like to see the firm
numbers before I sign on to the cause du jour. When people say we can
change things, I'd like to know how much.
