I wish to congratulate the organizers of Atmosphere 2010 on the excellent programme and the caliber of the speakers. I am looking forward to learn about the outcomes. When looking at some of the titles I am concerned that part of the meeting is dedicated to preaching to the converted, whilst other topic titles appear to be defending the Status Quo. As a believer in the cause, I assume that anthropogenic climate change caused by Global Warming is a fact of life (and death), but hope against hope I am wrong. I wish you all a successful meeting and regret very much I am unable to attend. With best wishes and kind regards Yours sincerely Klaas Visser.
