   Many thanks for good advice. I have a 4B available to test all this on

   twenty-first century?s developed world went into hysterical panic over a    
   globally average temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and,    
   on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer    
   projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to    
   contemplate a rollback of the industrial age.
