All about how temperatures get measured, and predicted. If you have some spare time, this post contains many good bits of educational material concerning the vagaries of gathering temperature data. The problem begins with the fact that heat is constantly being shuffled from one place to another, up, down and sideways, some of which are not easy to reach, by processes that are not always regular.

The current situation in India. This post begins with a video interview with veteran journalist Keith Schneider, which I found to be remarkable for unusual depth of insight and analysis. By modernizing too fast, and in the wrong way, India has made a horrible mess of things. Please watch every bit of it, and then guess whether the country will follow his best advice.

Aborigine memories of sea level rise. Australia was first settled by humans about 40,000 years ago, in the heart of the last ice age. When the ice sheets melted, starting 20,000 years ago, sea level rose a total of more than 400 feet. There are still many tribal memories of the late stages of this rise, being recounted today! Great story. (One third of all that ice has not yet melted.)
