mr. linder: i'm sorry, you're right. mr. barton: it appears on the data, if the data points we think are correct are correct, we're in a cooling period, the temperature has gone down at least eight years in a row, probably years in a row. we appear to be in a cooling period. but at the same time, we have to admit that co-2 concentrations are going up. i would hypothesize that the co-2 concentration is going up -- co-2 concentrations going up will prevent as much cooling, it will keep the planet warmer than it would be otherwise, but still cooler overall, which would be a good thing for mankind. we don't want another ice age, do we? mr. linder: we do not. in the last two million years we've had two ice age the last about 100,000 years, interrupted by 10,000 years of warming. it's been 11rks400 since the last glaciation. we've had less sun activity in the last 11 years than in many, many years. mr. barton: i'm told that there are more glaciers in the world go grohing than declining. mr. linder: that's correct. but 388 parts pe
