    1. Final link of news bites is broken. It ought to go here.
      0 0
    2. Look forward to the upcoming articles. And I really like that 'toon. It explains the consequences of the short-term profit mentality quite well.

    3. Check out UAH channel 5: http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/execute.csh?amsutemps Lower troposphere temperatures just matched the record (for the date) set in 2010. This despite us coming out of a major La Nina. I thought we were headed for a GCR induced Svensmark Ice Age. Didn't he claim that global warming stopped in 2009? Looks like he was wrong and James Hansen right about 2012 as the next record year. What a surprise.

    4. EDITORS ATTENTION NEEDED! The link in your "News Bites" section that says "Climate Change May Pose Biggest Security Threat" does not go to the correct URL. Instead of linking to the intended article, it links to a Skeptical Science blog-editing page which needs an administrative password.

      Response:

      [dana1981] Thanks to you and Byron Smith for the correction.  Link fixed.

    5. To whom it may concern, there appears to be a mixed up link in News bites thus:- "Millions of African Climate Refugees Desperate for Food, Water" currently links to Science Daily story ;'Fire to Become Increasingly Important Driver of Atmospheric Change in Warming World' I believe the correct link to be:- http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jul2011/2011-07-06-01.html
