...long, unheralded, but still thoroughly worthwhile season for us, during which our small group of fans grew louder and more numerous. Their presence was more valuable than they know. We would like to extend to our fans our deepest thanks for their support and encouragement, and also our warmest invitations to return next year...
...generally wreaking havoc. Most also go on to caution that it is too soon to declare that the warming has begun. But two studies released last week evoked concern that a shift is already under way. Teams of scientists in the U.S. and Britain found that 1990 was the warmest year in more than a century of record keeping. The average worldwide temperature, said the Americans, was 15.5 degrees C (59.8 degrees F), while the British, using a different set of readings, pegged it at 15.4 degrees C (59.7 degrees...
...year does not make a trend, since temperatures naturally vary from year to year. But the Americans, at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, pointed out that the new data mean that the seven warmest years since 1880 have all occurred in the past 11 years. On average, the 1980s were about .6 degrees C (1 degrees F) warmer than the 1880s, while 1990 was .7 degrees C (1.25 degrees F) warmer. That may not sound like much, but a mere 5 degrees C (9 degrees F) rise was enough to bring the earth out of the last...

"I have sunburn on top of my sunburn," jokes Brack, who dutifully applies SPF 39 sun block every hour to little avail. "My warmest situation so far was taking pictures in the exhaust of an F-15 jet under the midday sun. It was so hot, the rubber grips around my lenses started to melt off." The heat and dust have already claimed one of Brack's cameras, and he is well into every piece of backup...
