The Black Death (1347-1351)
From Rome to London, people believed that the Apocalypse had come. It was 1348 and Europe was being devastated by the worst plague in known history: the Black Death.

Slow vs. Abrupt Climate Change
Climate changes occur as part of the Earth's normal climate cycle, in a slow transitional method. Abrupt climate change has happened in the past due to various effects.

Climate Change & Solar Variability
Scientists have evidence that the Little Ice Age resulted from changes in the Sun's energy output associated with long term sunspot and other solar activity cycles.

Solar Constant and Variable Sun
Many stars are variable stars that change brightness. Any possible solar variations must be very small, but does the Sun's energy output vary?

Solar Faculae
Faculae are bright regions on the Sun's photosphere affecting solar energy output. Changes in the number of faculae and sunspots may play a role in global climate change.

Juneau: Cruising the inside passage Pt 2
Our first port of call on the Alaska cruise is Juneau, capital of Alaska, geographically the largest city in the US and the first town to be founded due to the gold rush. Historical yet cosmopolitan, Juneau has great shopping and quality restaurants. After riding through town, we're off to view our first glacier, the awesome Mendenhall, one of the few you can drive to. We then experience an unforgetable wildlife cruise, encountering diving Humpback whales,close up, Stellar Sea Lions basking on a bellbuoy, harbour seals poping up like corks from the sea. Lots of great pictures and Alaska links. Please join me in this Alaska experience.
