Posted on 10 December 2012 by John Hartz

SkS Highlights

When Daniel Baily takes a break from moderating the comment threads of SkS articles and cranks out an article, the result is usually a gem. Such is the case with The Greenhouse Gas Effect All-Star Fan Club.  As one reader posted, "Definitely a keeper ;) Will use this one ;).

Rob Painting's Past 150,000 Years of Sea Level History Suggests High Rates of Future Sea Level Rise is also a "keeper" and has been reposted verbatim on Joseph Romm's Climate Progress website
