Synopsis

We all inhabit that part of Earth known as ‘The Atmosphere’. It seems a simple sort of a place to live and yet, as any scientist is happy to proclaim – it, and its behaviour, is extremely complex !That science is not too sure of all the finer points; that we don’t have much in the way of reliable data going back more than twenty – maybe thirty years or so – is not as widely appreciated as, perhaps, it should beSo, is it possible for the ordinary lay-person, outside of the scientific community, to gain a working understanding of exactly how the atmosphere actually functions?Can we assist the ordinary person to assess and rationalise the plethora of information with which we are all being bombarded, to filter out what is real from what is false, what is pure speculation, what is political manipulation?Well, if it is explained in a non too technical way, at least we can try ! We don't provide the answers, the solutions, the conclusions; we provide only the information - or as much of it as we can - the rest is entirely up to the reader, for only the thoughtful, intelligent individual, unpressurised, free from external influence, can achieve an answer that they themselves will fully accept.
