All I know is that about 12 years ago I was outside for a very brief period on a very overcast day in a remote part of NZ and I got sunburnt like I had passed out all day in a cloudless sky.
I'm no astrophysicist, but that was a really, really strange day.
Back in 1993 I was finishing up my undergraduate thesis. I was trolling for specific source material flipping thru a binder of sequential Time Magazine issues when I stopped at an issue from 1972 questioning another ice age. I distinctly recall thinking how it was 20+ years later and no ice age.
It stuck with me. It was not long before or after I started catching the increasing environmental headlines with Al Gore.
All I know is that I can't trust the media, and ever since I somehow got nuked I get regular skin cancer checks.
