		<description><![CDATA[
Australia is facing terrible water shortages on a continuing basis, due to climate change. We&#8217;re running out of fossil fuel, so we probably won&#8217;t be able to continue to make fertilisers in the same way, or to make heavy use of transport and refrigeration to ship food around the country out of season. This is [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a DJ who played at some of our parties who had an album called Edges R Fun. I asked him why he&#8217;d called it that, and his reponse was to ask me what I thought. Which launched me into this (oversimplified) explanation:
Edges are very interesting, because all life happens at an edge. If you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Greenhouse sceptics argue that the proponents of a human cause of global warming have not made a convincing case.

In a dry glacial valley, 1000m above sea level and 40 miles from the coast of Antarctica, a friend of mine was shown the mummified remains of a seal. The scientist from Davis base who had taken him there asked how old he thought it might be.
