Hi Valerie, Keith and gang - Lastest Exec Summary 
is attached. If you haven't edited, this is the 
one to use. Just for the record, here's what I 
did with Keith/Valerie's suggestions for the exec 
summary: accepted them all (perhaps with a tweak 
or two), except:

1) kept "pre-Quaternary" instead of "ancient" - the latter is too vague.

2) the LIG ice sheet/sea level bullet wasn't 
changed as much as you'd like because it is the 
result of lots of cross-chapter word tweaking 
with Susan Solomon, Chap 10, Chap 5 and WGII. I 
did add "south" since that's where the 
large-scale retreat likely took place. I left the 
reference to fast sea level rise based on the 
papers cited (or to be - need to check) in the 
text. Again, this last line was subject to much 
negotiation w/ other chapters and WGII.

3) I kept the sulfate bullet, but did rewrite 
because it was confusing. This bullet is likely 
linked to the TS/SPM, so it's pretty important.

4) kept the monsoon bullet in the last 2000 years 
section, since that's when the change referred to 
likely happened. I'm thinking about deleting this 
bullet, however, since the evidence isn't as 
strong as that behind other bullets.

(btw, Keith - sorry I forgot to delete that 
phrase about solar and volcanic forcing in the 
20th century - glad Valerie caught it)

Thanks, Peck
