Lomborg?s new book argues that, ?Investing $100bn annually would mean that we could essentially resolve the climate change problem by the end of this century,?

In a world without air conditioning, a warmer, more flexible, more relaxed workplace helps make summer a time to slow down again. Three-digit temperatures prompt siestas.

It is also something more significant. Each bag of tea represented the donation of somebody who wanted to make a statement as part of the tea-party project.

I agree with your comments. Like you, I believe that 95% of CRU is obtained from GHCN, with a very few non-GHCN sources, of which Austria is one (Norway, Sweden, Denmark are others.)
