More recently, brown clouds have been linked to the melting of the Himalayan and Hindu Kush glaciers (read my 2009 blog post).

The icecore drillings in the Himalaya's shows that the atomare tracers from the late 50s and beginning 60s A-bomb test (surface blasting)is newer found in the Himalayan icecore drillings....they are pressent in the Antarctic and Arctic drillings and other places around the world.....it tell us that there was NO accumulation of snow/ice since that time and short time before....Brown clouds do not make it better. The melting Himalaya is an old story...about 50 years old Kind regards from Greenland Don’t blame the CO2!

This apparently supplied a little kooker similar to my own, with methane. A treble "Whammee" at least ! 1)end of firewood for cooking 2)Methane is many times worse than CO2 as a "greenhouse gas", I believe 3)What to do with a lovely old oil-drum (with airtight lid 4) When "dun", it supplies a load of potting compost as a "thankyou" ! It is equivalent, in my list of good investments, with the polythene greenhouse near the sea and the desert, which - by virtue of much water-pipe and a small circulating pump, produces fresh water (from condensation), and a space in which plants will grow.
