And right out of the gate he's right there with some environmental information you will not be reading about in the MSM. This seems even more important in light of this post, too. That's not to say that one or two end-of-year items didn't catch my interest - did you realise, for example, that last year was the coolest worldwide since 2001 (PDF - see page 3)? (Indeed, the Russian winter of 2005-06 was the coldest for decades). Would it surprise you to learn that the arctic ice cap recovered slightly from its 2005 extent (PDF - page 2)? Probably, given the spin on facts that most of the media almost invariably employ when the topic of climate change arises. Similarly, coverage of the IPCC's recent adjustment of its worst-case projections for sea level rise this century (from 34 to 17 inches) seems muted, especially when one considers the likely media response had the estimate been increased by the same proportion.

And I'm pretty good. Past that the atmosphere probably absorbs all the ambient energy an average man can generate, regardless of how far he can lay down a downstream. Now on the other hand if you've ever stood in an open field in the morning with a decent sized herd around you, just before sunrise, and seen the cow's poof out a round or two then you know you can pretty much elevate the surrounding air temperature three or four degrees if you wanna stick around and measure it. It'll turn your coffee sour right before round up too, so I'm thinking maybe what starts out as exhaust on the long pipe ends up as acid rain in the tin cup. Anywho the day I see a herd of humans blow out a three or four degree run up in an open field on a crisp spring morning then I'll call the next hurricane I weather the Circle H. Personally I think it's all romp and underpants. My wife says human driven warming is probably responsible for at the most a few feet of glow heat extending from the covers. And I’m pretty good.
