Back in the temperature data capturing business

A 6 hour outage

That's the worst since the great NOAA website redesign of February 2012 where the USA pages split from the rest of the Globe and went all tabular and Fahrenheity

The ISS should be visable for the second time this evening overhead here at 11pm BST - http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

Still haven't seen any effects of the Perseids

Apparently we hoover up somewhere between 37,000-78,000 tons of interplanetary dust on our roughly 585 million mile trip around the Sun each year

Hold on tight we're all going 66,735 miles per hour ! Though at the equator you might be going almost 1000 mph faster or slower than this depending on which side of the planet you are on

So behind the scenes there isn't an abhorrent propaganda machine predicated on fear.

Phew! Glad we cleared that one up.

The closet has emptied out just in time to make room for others:

Interior Secretary: I don't want any climate-change deniers ...

So, how can the 70k employees keep their jobs? Perhaps this way:
Uh oh, it turns out Christopher is a denier. This could get tricky.

[This is actually "old news". For some odd reason it wasn't news fit to print by any mainstream media that I could find. Surely they would want to trumpet this new consensus-or-else policy. Curious.]

Not only but also Gerald

The tricky business of moving from what's left of Reactor 4's roof, a whole reactors worth of highly radioactive but spent fuel elements down to firmer foundations will be starting soon.

This process will begin in November and could take 2 years.

I strongly suspect that 1,2 and 3's molten cores (essentially an amalgam of what is on the roof of reactor 4 + the concrete and steel of the former reactors) are melting, due to fission that was providing heat to turn water to steam to the power electrical generators, through the base of the reactors, as happened in Chernobyl http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=672660

This is most likely the root cause of the radioactive groundwater

But no-one from Tepco or anyone who wishes the Nuclear Industry to continue, and continue to present us to these risks, is going to say a dicky bird


This is however as obvious as the fact that the Globe will not be 6C warmer by the end of this Century to anyone with still working gray matter

I still prefer gray to grey however many times Chromes wiggly red line tries to affirm otherwise. My kids (20 and 22 !) tell me I'm silver

At most a month to go before it "disappears"


Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'

Gore held out until next year in his Nobel Peace Prize speech.

Today 6,096,719 sq km at the North Pole

31 days at 196,668 sq km melting a day should do it

Yesterday 55,781 sq km melted out and it's slowing as the daylight hours shorten

Do the maths (I'm keeping my S )
