Dears Eystein and Peck,

Although I have not participated in the previous IPCC discussions and 
report/chapter writing, it looks to me that a chapter on Paleo might be 
the most effective way of passing the message. However, we shall also 
make sure that paleo evidence is included in any chapter where it might 
make sense.

After reading the contributions to the discussion by the other 
colleagues, I also agree with Stephan's proposal for a chapter providing 
an overall "Assessment of future climate risks".

Yours Sincerely,

Fatima Abrantes

P.S. In which respects contributions from Lisbon, we can contribute with 
multi proxy data, including SST, for a couple of inner-shelf sites, off 
the Tagus and Douro Rivers, which have a quite high sedimentation rate 
and allow high resolution for the last 2,000 yr.
A high resolution record for TI from the Tagus inner-shelf as well, and 
SST from different sources (alkenone derived, Foram derived, Mg/Ca) is 
also available for a couple of records. The most interesting of them all 
being site MD03-2699 a site that reaches 700 Ka and for which we have 
data high resolution data mainly from MIS9 to the bottom of the core.
