The latest copy of the IEEE Spectrum - 5th February 2009 - just showed up in

which is currently available on-line.

If the IEEE sees this as something to publish in Spectrum, anthropogenic
global warming  may be rather less off-topic than some posters seem to
think.

Indeed, AGW is as on-topic as anything, in any forum. Without
coordinated action soon we're all likely to be toast (soggy toast in
many places) and, in retrospect, the possibility of idle chatter on
the internet will seem like a quaint luxury.

Gore Effect Cooling.

I'm not surprised when Eeyore imagines that a localised spot of cold
weather in England is evidence against anthropogenic global warming,
but I had thought that John Larkin would have had more sense.

Here's a piece of - equally weak - evidence in favour of global
warming

Why do you obsess on something that will never affect your life, that
you can personally do nothing about, and that is plainly bad science?

Why don't you do something real, something that matters, something
with tangible results? Something that involves soldering irons?
