If there are any folks working on carbon cycling in inland freshwater systems
or on aquatic-terrestrial coupling, please considering submitting an abstract
to our AGU session:

Regional and Global Carbon Cycling

Its hard to interpret all that.
Its amazing how any one of us can make a mistake, or a bad
judgementbut it would be nice if once in a while each of us
actually listened to others more knowledgeable than we are, and
recognize that our judgement may be again flawed.
No admissions necessary.

Dear Rob,
I doubt that ignoring the conclusions of previous climate studies will
improve the vitality of Ecology or Climatology as fields of inquiry.
You seem to assume that climatologists don't use the scientific method, but
what you describe is exactly the process they have used to assess wheth

Robert,
As I recall, the new aspect of the clouds portion of the climate the model
you are referring to was about the height of the clouds in the atmosphere,
not about the presence or absence of clouds. Clouds had already been
included in the models for quite some time.
I may be thinking of a di

You might take a look at Donella Meadows' excellent book _Thinking in

is how she and her brother used to fight when they were kids: he would push
her, she pushed back harder, he pushed back harder yet, and soon an

"Water vapor is the most powerful greenhouse gas" is a meme that has been

Robert,
I am glad that you support the modeling efforts of atmospheric scientists with
respect to ozone-depleting substances. Their models are in complete agreement
with you: the holes should still be there. The residence times of ODS is so
long that, without any new additions, the holes sho
My skepticism regrading the CO2 argument comes from looking at what causes the
greenhouse effect and the relative contribution of CO2 to the greenhouse
effect. As we all know water vapour is the cause of the greenhouse effect, and
lacking water vapour in the atmosphere there likely wouldn't be a
Hamilton, you got a couple of things right: Water is a more powerful
greenhouse gas than is carbon dioxide. Climate models predict warming based on
carbon dioxide increases, but no one has done an actual controlled experiment
