Very interesting, Mr. S. For those of us unfamiliar with the literature can you answer for us the most pressing question about this as a reply to Alson's question: are the paleoclimate runs referred to in this abstract performed by one of the models used for contemporary climate prediction and informing the global political process — i.e., one of those referred to in the IPCC reports?

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.
