SO how will they treat the Sun this time???

For those interested in the Sun and the Sun-Earth connection (+ Northern lights) my new popular science book has been released.

“Our Explosive Sun – A Visual Feast of Our Source of Light and Life”.

Our Explosive Sun includes 143 color illustrations and photos of the Sun, several of which were made especially for the book and have never been published before. Additional material, available via Springer Extras, includes a large number of animations and video material. A PowerPoint presentation of the book is a useful resource for teachers.”

The site just has an invalid or non-existent certificate that is required for the https protocol, hence the warnings that you get on Firefox etc.

It doesn’t surprise me that this would happen given the standard of IT we saw in the climategate emails.

Why do I have a strange feeling of deja vu? It is reminiscent of Phil Jones writing that he would not release information to someone he thought was intending to attack his conclusions! Still, I suppose all is permissible in defense of “the cause”.

Merry Christmas.
