Some years ago Jerry Pournelle did an exhaustive analysis of the effects of man on mitigating the oncoming ice age... postponing it instead of succumbing "might" be a valuable thing to do. However, every time man gets his ego on the line and tries to solve complex, multivariable phenomenon with his linear additive predictive models, and his over blown sense of effective competency I personally get very, very concerned.

All this climatic change data seems to call for use of clever chaos theory graphic plotting... anything that attempts to provide some graphically cogent orderliness out of this mass of complex non-linear systems.
