  1. Thanks! Truthfully, though, I've been more interested in trying to snag papers from the supportings docs.
  2. Take care in the future not to willfully misinterpret a friendly colloquialism for a literal, scientific statement. Furthermore, please understand that a choice to not immediately butt-heads over the facts suggest a newcomer getting used to the feel of a forum and not a lack of knowledge on any given issue. Lessons all around - my, wasn't today an educational day?
  3. I think the evidence is pointing towards noticeable, short-term warming that is otherwise than what would normally be the, er, norm (read: anthropogenic in origin). How global warming will impact climate change is anyone's guess. I do not consider myself an environmentalist, but as a future scientist, I have to consider the possible rammifications of increased global temperatures. They range from the 'extremely likely' to the 'how awful would that be if it happened?' to the entirely 'out of left field' effects that we cannot yet foresee. I think politics are masking both the truth of the issue and confusing the response. I don't think that will change in the coming years, and I foresee some turbulence ahead. But, as usual, I think the human race will manage to squeak through. It's the 'impending' ice age that I think will be verrry interesting for all of us.
  4. I've got a Marin 'Pioneer Trail'. It's just an entry-level hardtail, but it allows me to bust my backside on some sweet single-track a few times a week, so I got no complaints.
  5. What's up, people? 24, male, geoscience undergrad. Did a search on science forums, and this site popped up! Lookin forward to digging in to see what's going on. Shows great promise so far... but no earth science sub-forums? *gasp* Maybe if I check again... Good to be here.
