Scientific American a couple years back had eminent experts review
pieces (and mostly take it to bits); the Union of Concerned Scientists
had a similar approach to their discussion - have experts review
individual chapters. I think that should still be on their website.

I noted with great appreciation that you have decided in your November
2005 issue to highlight people who are actively working to raise public
awareness about global warming and who are laboring to create actual
