In all that I've read about the GW theory, I've never seen specific 
numbers that were agreed upon by the majority.  Nothing I've seen says 
"in 2050 the temp will be raised by <foo> and CO2 will be up by <bar>"

so... where are the numbers coming from?

still I'm curious to see if 'forest friendly' people will protest this 
experiment since it is purposefully placing stress on the trees.  If 
people are driving spikes into trees to stop those that log and reforest 
I wonder what they will say about this?
