Editorial
Vegetation, Climate and CO2: Their Intertwined Relationship: The quest to unravel the interdependency of the three factors finally rises to the fore.

Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week
Was there a Medieval Warm Period? YES, according to data published by 588 individual scientists from 348 separate research institutions in 38 different countries ... and counting! This issue's Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week comes from the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap, Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway. To access the entire Medieval Warm Period Project's database, click here.

Subject Index Summary
West Antarctic Ice Sheet (Collapse and Disintegration): These two modes of ice sheet dynamism are always hyped by climate alarmists. But is there any evidence to suggest they are on the verge of occurring in West Antarctica?

Plant Growth Data
This week we add new results (blue background) of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature for: Faba Bean, Oilseed Rape, Radish, and Rice.

Journal Reviews
The Past Half-Century of Sea Level Rise: Has it shown any dramatic response to the supposedly unprecedented global warming of the latter part of the 20th century?

Cherry Blossoms and Climate Change in Kyoto: What do the former tell us about the latter?

British Lepidoptera Responses to Global Warming: How did their species composition and populations change between 1864 and 1952? ... and 1976 to 1997?

Elevated CO2 vs. Warming and Drying: What's the net result for the soil water content of an old field ecosystem?

Cloud Effects on Forest Carbon Uptake: Do they enhance or reduce it?

Temperature Record of the Week
This issue's Temperature Record of the Week is from Tallahassee, FL. During the period of most significant greenhouse gas buildup over the past century, i.e., 1930 and onward, Tallahassee's mean annual temperature has cooled by 1.00 degrees Fahrenheit. Not much global warming here!

Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Since 2001, our organization has provided companies with professional assistance in filing greenhouse gas (GHG) reports with the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program (Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992). We hope that others of you will also turn to our Center for your GHG reporting needs. Together, we can help you prepare an accurate, complete, consistent, relevant and transparent accounting of your emission and sequestration activities.
