More Problems for the Mann et al. Temperature Record: Studies of palaeoclimate records of many sorts from many places bear witness to the falsity of the Mann et al. global temperature record, while at the same time providing evidence for a millennial-scale oscillation of climate that periodically produces multi-century periods of warmth, such as the current Modern Warm Period, independent of whatever the air's CO2 content may be doing simultaneously.  Here is one such study that is very compelling and has a slightly different twist to it.

Subject Index Summaries
Dust (Climatological Implications): What we don't know about the subject far outweighs what we do know, even after many years of study.

Dust (Biological Implications): Air currents are capable of transporting large amounts of dust over great distances, including across seas and from one continent to another.  Hitching a ride upon these inanimate mineral particles, as well as interspersed among them in the fluidic turmoil of the atmosphere, are a wide variety of fungal spores and other biologically significant materials that can - and do! - periodically wreck havoc upon faraway ecosystems.

Elevated CO2 Pumps Up Water Use Efficiency of Mesquite Seedlings: Producing way more biomass per unit of water transpired in CO2-enriched air than they do in ambient air, velvet mesquite seedlings of semiarid regions make the soil moisture in their root zones last longer, which phenomenon may help them survive periodic dry spells that could cause their death in ambient air.
