The 2005 volume is online here although earlier issues seem to be pay-as-you-play. It has many interesting articles, including ones on Puruogangri and tropical glaciers. Enjoy.
Last night, the life of one of my friends was saved by a defibrillator located at a squash club. He was only 36; he’d played a doubles match that wasn’t particularly intense. He played in the match before me and several of us were chatting about the match. Suddenly he felt faint and collapsed. Quickly […]
The Stern Review has been published today here . I don’t intend to spend much time on it, but others may wish to comment.

Earlier this year, I wrote a short comment about a post that Kenneth had made at realclimate about this, which I am re-posting in its entirety. […]
Thanks to Judith Curry for sending along these candid comments from a couple of her students about climateaudit. There has been discussion at the other thread wshich I’d prefer move to this thread. Here is the report from the Georgia Tech hurricane class discussion on the climateaudit hurricane threads. Two students were assigned to make […]
