Some items brought up in discussion:
IPCC 2001 estimates of sea level changes: They estimated a rise of 0.48 meters from 1990-2100. That averages to a half centimeter per year. Not a lot for a bathtub - but considering the water surface area of the earth, that is 500 million million gallons, which is enough glasses of water to give everyone on earth three a day for the next 1200 years.
ICC members: Brazil and Nigeria are longtime members and Japan will probably ratify in 2007. There are ongoing cases (Congo, Uganda & Sudan). The aggression clause is nonbinding.
