Hi Keith - in our TS/SPM discussions, Susan has raised this question: "In the TAR they spoke of 1998 being the warmest year in the millennium and the 1990s the warmest decade. I don't see that chapter 6 addresses any of these time scales. I am not saying you should do so - but are you planning to say anything about it and why you aren't doing so? and if you're not planning to say anything at all, can you please tell me what you think about it, just for my own info?" Would you please give me your feedback on this, with enough thoughtful detail to hopefully make me/Susan fully informed (a para should be enough). Thanks, Peck -- Jonathan T.
