Been very busy recently.
Have some new interesting stuff, the sun is out of the picture for this current warming it seems (PNAS 07), CO2 influence has been underestimated in past (Nature 2007), the variation of climate changes is suggestive that all the players can force the climate and not just the sun (science 2007), Jan 07 was the hottest ever, the Arctic Sea ice maxinmum sea ice extent is second lowest ever to 2006 by about a sliver, and 2006 had mimimum sea ice every month apart from September which is held by 2005, and then 2002, also a recent submarine trip has discovered that the arctic is about 40-50% thinning and predictions has been brought forward for the arctic to be ice free in summer by 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!........that will accelerate warming some, then ther eis the Amundsen Ice sheet, Ross Ice sheet, all the glaciers in Peru furthest retreat for 5120 years when there was a climate event in the tropics at least.
Its been a hot April here in the UK 24C in London several times.
Anyway I am still busy but will try to post occasionally, oh yeah it also been found that droughts in USA from 1988-1990 and 1998-2003 actually reduced the MOA CO2 fluctation meaning a carbon sink of 100,000,000 tonnes or 0.05ppm of CO2, was lost in those years, forest fires are burning, OZ is still in drought.
2007 is going to an interesting year, all the tak now is towards adaptation andmitigation, it will be survival policies soon, and how to maintain our countries fortune,,,,,,,war in other words the case against Iran is being built as we sepak.
