Hello Ari,
as already posted for Baerbel for this start of the year and from time to time to John Hartz, I want to thank you and all of the SkS team for your work: as a small multiplicator in my semi-private network, I depend on you ..
The science overview is mostly to specific for me, but I get a broad impression of what's going on in climate related research via the titles (very valuable background info) and view some 4-6 articles you link per post: enough to keep me going with Johns links ..
My saturday evening is devoted to SkS (you and John and other posts and as needed the general resources).
Best,
Jonas
Thank you, Jonas! :)
