There was a strange ring around the Sun today – I looked at some supposed images taken earlier and just out of the curious decided to post it.  Two bizarre features seen on radar over the North West and South East of Australia ( Jan 22, 2010) The ring over the south east appeared approximately [...]

Internationally coordinated research and field-testing on ‘geoengineering’ the planet’s atmosphere to limit risk of climate change should begin soon along with building international governance of the technology, say scientists from the University of Calgary and the United States. Collaborative and government-supported studies on solar-radiation management, a form of geo-engineering, would reduce the risk of nations’ [...]

Continuing global economic growth “is not possible” if nations are to tackle climate change, a report by an environmental think-tank has warned. The New Economics Foundation (Nef) said “unprecedented and probably impossible” carbon reductions would be needed to hold temperature rises below 2C (3.6F). Scientists say exceeding this limit could lead to dangerous global warming. [...]

Foundation Comment: Although this was directed to the Foundation by a contact in the USA it is a situation which is similar to most trading partners of China and relevant for consideration. Original message and photographs:- We are now paying the price of choosing cheaper, lower quality goods, made by slave labour, in a country [...]

Higher temperatures on the earth’s surface at higher latitudes cause an increase in the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas that plays an important role in global warming. Therefore, higher temperatures are not just a consequence of climate change but can also worsen cause of it, conclude climate researchers in an article published inScience. During [...]

ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2009) — In a provocative new study, a University of Utah scientist argues that rising carbon dioxide emissions — the major cause of global warming — cannot be stabilized unless the world’s economy collapses or society builds the equivalent of one new nuclear power plant each day. “It looks unlikely that there [...]

Foundation comment ‘You love him, hate him, or maybe just feel he writes like an American from an American nationalistic perspective on many issues.’ If you follow the debate around the energy/climate bills working through Congress you will notice that the drill-baby-drill opponents of this legislation are now making two claims. One is that the [...]
