The fourteenth edition of the CO2 Newsletter, (Vol. 3, no. 2, Nov-Dec 1982) published bi-monthly by American geologist William N. Barbat between 1979 and 1982 is live. You can download a pdf and see the full text here – CO2 Newsletter Vol 3, No 2
The eight page issue has a front page story pointing out that “accelerating sea level rise is attributed to climate change.”
Yes, 1982, before many of you doomed-youth were born.
Read it and boggle at Barbat’s prescience and hard-graft. That he failed to warn us all was not on him (though see meme below). Goddam what a bunch of hairless murder apes (feeling particularly doomy at mo, ignore me).
The rest of the issue is what you’ll have come to expect – quotes, carefully curated excerpts of recent reports. All horrible stuff to read in 2026, but you have to admire the man’s efforts.
and that promised meme
