A blog about lovely Waterlooville, a small, environmentally damaged town in Hampshire, UK. Waterlooville was founded after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, as troops from that conflict returned home and passed through Hampshire. Having grown from a small village to a suburban sprawl, Waterlooville faces serious environmental challenges today and in the future.

Climate Denial Crock of the Week - Those emails
I love the crock of the week videos. Greenman3610 (Peter Sinclair) always does a good job at getting to the facts about AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) denial. This one takes a look at the misrepresentation of the stolen CRU emails in the media:
If you want to learn more about the basic science of climate change, Chicago University professor David Archer has videoed a series of his lectures and put them online. He starts with some quantum mechanics to explain why carbon dioxide is a 'greenhouse' gas and progresses to produce some very simple models. The maths is a bit advanced, but if you can keep up, then it is worth watching them all. He also has a book out that covers the same subject, but i'm not sure if it is available in the UK.
