Over at RealClimate, there is an interesting post explaining the four main physical aspects the climate system, as it pertains to climate change: “(i) the relationship between temperature and light, (ii) the planetary energy balance, (iii) the distance light travels before being absorbed, and (iv) the relationship between temperature and altitude.”
It includes some short debunkings of the idea that the sun is causing the warming we have observed, as well as the so-called “iris effect” touted by Richard Lindzen and others.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford.
Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
