- All about ENSO, and lunar tides (Paul Pukite) Historically, ENSO has been explained in terms of winds. But recently — and Dr Paul Pukite has insisted upon this for a long time — the oscillation of ENSO has been explained as a large-scale slosh due to lunar tidal forcing.

To address these problems, we develop Green New Deal energy roadmaps for 143 countries.

Hi Greg! Thanks for your comments.
Yes, I have been away and healing for a year. Still not entirely back. I want to restart my moss project and I do not know how long that will take.
Climate is of course important. We have two EVs of two cars now and a nearly completely electric house. It is powered by 57 solar panels as well as powering the cars.
Maybe the mosses again some day soon when I can walk safely.
Have a great Spring-Summer!
