Here we go
----------------------------------------http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-09/japa...r-fukushima-disaster.html - [Japanese] Power companies, which have posted combined losses of 3.6 trillion yen since the Fukushima disaster in March 2011, may not be able to afford enough carbon credits to help the country meet the CO2 reduction target. Tepco, in particular, can’t keep buying carbon credits as the utility faces costs for compensating radiation victims, decommissioning and clean-up costs stemming from the Fukushima disaster, Hirose said. - Tell me what is the value of a Carbon Credit? And also while your at it the price of the life of a victim of radiation? For me the first is zero.. the second priceless But you see the pressures this mythical problem exerts over the lives of the people of Japan and by extension the rest of the World. Night Sleep well Dave |

Well there you go it took 5 years but it looks like the Arctic Sea Ice minimum is odds on to exceed the low seen back in 2007
----------------------------------------http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent_prev.htm It's currently the size of 1 1/2 India's so rest assured it will be coming back by mid September. There plenty of very cold Ocean up there just waiting to refreeze ... as ever Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Aug 18, 2012 2:50:18 PM] |

Another weather station bites the dust (It's the one my code sees as minus 18)
----------------------------------------http://w1.weather.gov/obhistory/KDEQ.html Reporting a permanent 0F I convert to -18C I'll stop picking this one up and strip it from the data for this month - complete purge and recalculate at the end of each year. Down to just 2564 land based weather stations reporting data 24/7 Always comparing apples with apples at www.theglobalthermometer.com [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Aug 18, 2012 4:42:26 PM] |
