It's been a busy year personally, with a relocation to Yorkshire and associated house renovation, but I have found time to keep a close eye on global weather news and how it is reflecting underlying climate trends.
2017 was definitely an eventful year from a climate perspective. In particular the very active Atlantic hurricane season attracted my interest and I became a follower of the Bob Henson's WU blog. Fascinating (but concerning).
I have also been taking a (maybe) less than healthy interest in the climate change sceptic/contrarian scene. My attempts to map out what's going on, in the UK particularly, will eventually be documented here. If, as Willard says, we can't beat 'em, then we might as well know who they are and what they're up to.
Looking forward to the taking part in the next climate change MOOC from the University of Exeter which starts on Monday. Notes, reflections and "workings out" to follow via my ExClimate page (tab above).
