10 Mar 2010 Climate Mischief The big fightback is now in earnest it seems. Over in Australia the ABC science correspondent of many years, Robyn Williams, said in 2007 he actually thought it was possible that global sea levels will rise 100m in the next 100 years. He is now saying that AGW supporters are not agressive enough and need to fight back against the rising tide of scepticism (see www.climategate.com ). |

10 Mar 2010 Kutch www.deccanherald.com March 7th ... a large settlement of the Harappa culture has been excavated in the Hindu Kutch. It had been heavily fortified with walls that were 10m thick, and was spread over a hectare in area. The question that might be asked - were the walls built so thick in order to combat earthquakes. It was built at some stage between 2500-2200BC. |

10 Mar 2010 Hobbit Fued www.google.com/hostednews/ March 6th ... this is another version of a story posted last week but has some interesting detail not in the initial news report. Indonesian archaeologists on the island of Flores are scouring the cave complex for clues about the ancestors of the fossilised skeleton of the Hobbit. On one side are those who claim the Hobbit is a throwback to much earlier times and critics who say they are modern humans with a genetic disorder that caused the body and brain to shrink - or become dwarf. |

10 Mar 2010 Mound Culture in North America At http://www.examiner.com March 7th ... there is a lengthy article about mounds in the US - mainly in the Mississipi, Ohio and Tenessee river valleys, and the lower south east region. The earliest mound is an earth ring 300 feet in diameter dating back to 3500BC. Between 2500 and 1200BC shell mounds or rings were built along the south Atlantic coast (in Georgia for example). Between 1500BC and 1000AD mounds appeared inland - made of earth and fresh water mussel shells. |

However, the cooling episode does not appear in Antarctic ice cores (at Byrd station for example). |
