SkS Weekly Digest #29

SkS Highlights

In the article with the puzzling title, Infrared Iris Never Bloomed, Dana skilfully debunks the hypothesis set forth by Lindzen et al. in  Does the Earth Have an Adaptive Infrared Iris? published in 2001. Rob Painting's Ocean Acidification: Corrosive waters arrive in the Bering Sea is the first in a new three-part series on recent findings about the impacts of global warming's evil twin, ocean acidification. Jim Powell concluded his three-part answer to the question,  "Is there a case against human-caused global warming in the peer-reviewed literature?" with the posting of Part 3.
