I have just enjoyed listening to and watching this pair of lectures from the
Royal Society on the web. (There are actually two Tims giving talks.) I think everyone would find them interesting, not just those worried about global warming. Bill Giles gets a mention, and Piers Corbyn has a walk on part in the question time at the end. http://www.royalsoc.ac.uk/page.asp?id=3135 Cheers, Alastair. |

Do you have to be a member ? If so, stop showing off it doesn't become you. |

I can get only the High Bandwidth Windows Media player to work even though the link to the check page works with both Real and Windows Media Player. Bill |

There are four options depending on whether you have Broadband or not, and whether you want to use Windows Media Player or Real Time. The Realtime player is the one used to play BBC radio news items and video clips. If you don't have either of those click on "checker page to decide which player to use" and you can download one of the players from that page. BTW Although I have Freeserve Broadband I actually used Real Player low bandwidth because the high bandwith was breaking up. HTH, Cheers, Alastair. |

One thing that wasn't addressed (if it was I missed it) was the potential for crop evolution to occur. As (if) temperatures rise, natural selection will favour crops that can survive in those conditions, so is it possible that in 100yrs time we will have wheat and barley that has evolved to grow quite happily in the changed climate? -- Brian Wakem |

It was the first time I've seen Brian Hoskins since I attended his lectures at Reading Uni about, er, rather a long time ago. Sadly, I couldn't bring myself to watch until Piers appeared though.

The problem is that if yields drop in a world with a growing population, there will be famine and we cannot wait for crop evolution to occur. OTOH we may be able to use genetic modification to get new varieties in the time scales needed. But if we employ genetic modification now, and get a universal best seed which is used through out the world like Coca-Cola, then we could easily end up with a disaster. Relying on only one crop was what caused the Irish Potato Famine! Cheers, Alastair. |

It may be that the site is overloaded by too many people from usw trying it. OTOH I have posted that site on sci.environment as well, so you may have to wait until tomorrow morning when all those Yanks have gone to bed :-( Cheers, Alastair. |

Alastair, I'm using 2mb broadband, real player and windows media player and it still doesn't work! How are we supposed to trust these people on Global Warming when they can't run a website properly :-) You don't get these problems with Fred Singer's site or World Climate Report. ;-) |
