One posting and REQUESTS for a repost is no reason for you to CHILDISHLY tell us grown folks (not so sure about you) to UNSUBSCRIBE from a board of which said topic is ALREADY dead and over with THREE days ago. Get a life and just read from now on. Your keyboard is dangerous to yourself and others. It's f***ers like you who ruin any type of intelligent and polite discourse about the variety and fecundity of math and science as they play out in reality in our lifes. And to be honest, fractals and chaos theory play directly into the earthly "consequences" that were being discussed. Technically, the environmental stuff was perfectly on topic: Fractals to Chaos to Weather Systems to Global Warming. Nothing wrong with that. End of discussion. Now take the Shat's advice and "Get a life". James C.

I think I have written about this before, but when I was at the Cornell College of Agriculture in 1969-1970 they were talking about global warming and the greenhouse effect from carbon dioxide. It was generally accepted there, and they were in departments like agronomy, meteorology and plant breeding. They were people who were in favor of the Vietnam war, thought organic farming was a joke, and were generally conservative pro-military people who had probably never been in a room where gay marriage was discussed. More than anything, they really were scientists and felt that ideas should be held to the test of empirical data. It is not that hard to show a correlation and always hard to show cause and effect.
