Today is the 4th anniversary of the BOINC-based CPDN, and I\'d like to congratulate and thank all the people at Oxford who made it happen, and all the volunteers who courageously ran huge climate models on their PCs. CPDN has been a huge success. There\'s no more worthwhile scientific goal than investigating the fate of Earth, and CPDN has made critical contributions to this investigation.

CPDN inspired BOINC; when I read Myles Allen\'s original (1999) paper it got me very excited, and I immediately contacted him, wanting to get involved. CPDN\'s unique requirements had a big impact on BOINC\'s design.

Carl Christensen, who for several years did the heavy lifting of getting CPDN working and keeping to going, has also contributed greatly to BOINC, and more recently so has Tolu Aina. I\'m extremely proud to have worked with these guys and the rest of the CPDN group. Congratulations all around!!
