350.org co-founder Bill McKibben argues the effectiveness of the COP15 summit is quantifiable thanks to sophisticated computer software.

"In the year 2100 we'll have 770 ppm C02," says McKibben of the proposed deals coming out of COP15. "We'll live in hell -- or a place with a remarkably similar temperature."

I'm skeptical (there's that word) about treating a computer program, however sophisticated, as comprehensive enough to provide even a ballpark simulation of a system as complex as that of Earth's climate. Are these guys even thinking or just plugging numbers into a flawed program and reinforcing their worst fears?

The Copenhagen Meeting is necessary because it highlights the major issue of Global Warming Globally. Global Warming is a fact of life we can see it all around us. The issue I have a problem with is the rising sea level forcast. Sea levels are not rising and will not rise. The old concept of sea level being a constant has to go. A constant sea level has misled all of us for too long. It is time that we study sea level and its decline. This will give the lie to sea level rise forcasts. Geology has to get rid of Isostatic Rebound it is a false theory.It is also the root cause of the sea level rise forecasts. We dont know sea level so we cant forcast that it will rise. We are only sure of one thing and that is that sea levels will fall. Richard Guy
