150 years ago today – on 18 May 1859 - John Tyndall’s experiments showed the existence of greenhouse gases and therefore ‘proved’ a greenhouse effect.

The New Scientist magazine – ‘The man who discovered greenhouse gases’ - and Prof Mike Hulme have marked this important birthday.

The March 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference heard about much more research than simply that ‘climate change is worse than previously thought’.  Eleven of the Session chairs, led by Mike Hulme, wrote this letter to the journal Science.

NEW publication (April 2009)   Dessai,S., Hulme,M., Lempert,R. and Peilke,R.jr. (2009)  Do we need better predictions to adapt to a changing climate?   EOS  90(13), 111-112
