Is Climate Change Normal?

from this blog.

Is climate change is a natural call? apparently, the earth's atmosphere condition/ climate has been in changing since the creation. ice age came and gone.

the blogger claimed that in the medieval warmer time, the earth temperature is higher than now. and currently earth temperature has not increase since 1998.

one funny thing bout the term change,
greenhouse effects -> global warming -> climate change -> carbon footprint...

what is carbon footprint anyway?
A carbon footprint is "the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product" (UK Carbon Trust 2008).

i.e. using fossil fuel to release energy which results pollution...

me: solely from skimming the text..probably need sources to write compact post on this issue..haha

Global Warming or Climate Change

originally read from this blog.

Saudi is expected to be covered with snow this may. May? almost summer, should it be OK? well, God can make anything happened. Saudi was covered with snow before, within early years, which is nothing odd about that.winter become colder, summer probably will be hotter..

it came to my mind that global warming may not even suitable to be used. Climate change is.

anyway, the Saudi and snow issue came to debate, where the meteorological service at Saudi forecasted the minimum temperature is 50 deg Celcius. 50? that's hot. we'll see the truth.

Hotness and RA-ship

Noticable warm and hot here in Malaysia, probably because of the summer monsoon coming. I'm still waiting any information bout this anomalies temperature. well, anyway, my M.Phil application is still pending. Apparently because of the summer monsoon coming. I'm still waiting the information about this.

Anyway, my M.Phil application still pending. Apparently, the second reviewer still hasn't send the report to the administration. So, I told my supervisor-to-be, and he will try to push it. It's Ok, i hope everything will be fine. Just worried about my scholarship.
However,he will try to push my Research Assistantship as early as June to start.
That's great. I certainly hope that i will be in meteorology circle so the faster I get involve in it, the faster I can read and write about it. Current job so not giving me a lot of chance to read a lot about meteorology. Too many things to do.

Still looking waht informative post to be post here.
