Jo Chandler | Feeling the heat | Clouds parted on the data debate

Drawing on her experiences in the Antarctic, Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropics, Chandler describes the grinding work that is scientific research - freezing hours spent collecting ice cores bearing bubbles of fossilised air, evidence of climates past; trudging out at night to document minute changes in the behaviour and position of creatures.

contradictory real-world evidence, simply make up unprovable excuses for why your hypothesis isn’t coming true and stick with it.

The more likely explanation is that carbon dioxide simply isn’t as capable of absorbing solar energy as first thought.
