Science Advisor Holdren gives a nice overview of Arctic Amplification
White House Science Advisor Dr John Holdren came out with a nice overview of Arctic amplification, something blogged about here, and associated with many students of climate and meteorology, but especially Rutgers University Professor Jennifer Francis. Postscript, 2014-01-08, 1849 ET: Dr … Continue reading
