Welcome, oh Mr Kite!

I can certainly vouch for Carcasonne and Talisman as good fun family strategy-based games, not too much for kids (at least mid-primary school up) to grasp.

The mild climate you have in the UK and the warm summers in this subartic region, is due to the Gulf stream. Saltwater weighs more than fresh water, ...

This solar minimum is happening at the same time as we are having the hottest years in recorded history. When the Sun comes back to full power we will be wishing we'd left all that fossil fuel in the ground. Spot on. Human activity has already pushed us so far out from the 'norm' that there is no c...
