  1. Much worth a listen: Scientist Ben Santer's podcast about climate science and how it's being supressed today - reframed by his own personal cancer diagnosis:

    It is enlightening to hear about suppression of science facts by partisan politics & government institutions in the US as well.

    This was originally posted by @Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf

    On a minor note this is preceeded and later interrupted by unrelated ads, and it seems worth asking, why scientific podcasts need to be interrupted by those at all.

  2. .> Physics tells us that if the Sun were causing global warming—as some skeptics continue to insist—we’d expect both the troposphere and the stratosphere to warm, as heat comes into the atmosphere from outer space. But if the warming is caused by green house gases emitted at the surface and largely trapped in the lower atmosphere, then we expect the troposphere to warm, but the stratosphere to cool...
    .> Santer and his colleagues have shown that the troposphere is warming and the stratosphere is cooling. In fact, because the boundary between these two atmospheric layers is in part defined by temperature, that boundary is now moving upward. In other words, the whole structure of our atmosphere is changing.
