Low Clouds Cause Cooling
ACCORDING to NASA we are in for a period of low solar activity which means more cosmic rays getting through to earth. According to research at the Danish National Space Center more cosmic rays means more cloud nuclei in the lower atmosphere and thus more low bright clouds which reflect incoming sunlight having a cooling effect on planet earth.

Senate Inquiry into Bushfires
Greetings Everyone,
Below is the details and terms of reference for a Senate inquiry into Bushfires in Australia. This should compliment the gaps that will likely be left in the Royal Commission for the chronic state of the environment due to political nest feathering for green preferances. This green lunicy of using the environment as a political football has now killed people and destroyed large tracts of our environment.
I would urge people to put in a submission, as so far the Federal bushfire enquiry after 2003 was the best.
Regards Ralph Barraclough
