That was until last month. The February update to this satellite record … [Read more...] about Satellite-based global temperatures, trending up

I began by explaining that while the delegates may have though homogenization was a term used exclusively for milk, that homogenization is also a technical term used … [Read more...] about Why we should rally against homogenization, and I don’t mean of milk
Bob Carter Warms with Eiffel Tower Descent
THE Eiffel Tower was opened in 1889, and with an observation deck at about 300 m above ground level was then the highest human-construction on planet Earth. Professor Bob Carter, former Head of the Department of Earth Sciences at James Cook … [Read more...] about Bob Carter Warms with Eiffel Tower Descent
