Take part in the largest climate change experiment ever
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/hottopics/climatechange/

We need the computer power you're not using. An experiment developed for the BBC by climate scientists, led by Oxford University, using the Met Office climate model.

This has been posted before -- but since DU moves so fast the topic is probably in the archives already.

News of global warming is regularly posted on DU -- poles warming, die off of coral in the Caribbean are two of the most recent threads.

4. Good I'm not going nuts -- I thought I remembered earlier posting
on this subject.

Probably everyone needs to be reminded.

It is amazing to me how many people still deny that Global warming is real -- "well it was COLD here" -- therefore Global Warming isn't real.
