Global Warming Takes a Break - Yahoo! News

The pace isn't relentless, and it seems that aerosols may be mitigating factors. Maybe we should be happy about dirty coal burning plants and untunes engines, and a big cheer for the occasional volcano.

60 Years to Restore the Ozone Layer Over Antarctica

What I find interesting is that this is a problem that has received strong and definitive world wide action, that's effective, and still the momentum of the global processes is such that I won't see the solution in my lifetime. The perspective that throws on the response to global warming is depressing, more so than the already dismal outlook that I can't avoid.

Sorry about the gap

I've been away from my normal internet resources, and haven't been posting, but will get some catch-up done in the next couple of days. Thanks for your patience.

Study acquits sun of climate change, blames humans - Yahoo! News

One of the lingering alternative explanations for warming has been changes in solar output. This study has exonerated the Sun from a being a major contributor.

More on Permafrost Methane

This seems to have a few more details.

Scientists Find New Global Warming 'Time Bomb’

Permafrost Methane release accelerating

This story emerged about a year ago when large areas of Siberian permafrost were detected to be outgassing methane. It appears that folks have made more careful measurements since then, and releases may be greater than current models are using.
