[MD] Predictions

On November 15th, Platt mentioned:

>Daniel Yergin.

I assume Yergin was referring to olive oil?  If not, what were we doing in 
Iraq?  Touring the area for potential golf course sites?  As I said before 
whatever the oil reserves are, it's a moot point because the environment 
almost certainly can't sustain much more carbon emissions anyway!

>Whether it's the impact of global warming, bird flu, or oil reserves,
>experts differ. Predictions are always dicey.

No they're not.  Some predictons are far better than others!  If I predict 
that you will post another e-mail to this forum I think that would be an 
extremely safe "non-dicey" prediction.

Though feel free to prove me wrong!

Best wishes,

Anthony.
