At our first meeting of the new Rotary
Year (July 3rd), Roy Masters, a retired blacksmith and engineer,
demonstrated how the movements of the Earth's magnetic field and rapid
changes in the position of the magnetic north pole correlate with long
and short term global warming and cooling. A thought-provoking
dissertation - perhaps it's not
CO2 & 'greenhouse' gasses after all! |
