Atmospheric DOUBLE-WHAMMY: fertilizers deplete ozone, add to warming
A new study poses a problem for biofuel proponents and agriculture alike: excessive and careless use of fertilizers has been fingered as the driver of growing atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations. The study, published in Nature (abstract here), drew on the 40 years of atmospheric samples collected by CSIRO (the Commonwealth …

It's my anaeshetist's gown.
Would this be the "warming" that stopped happening 10 years ago perhaps?
When Liebor gets punted into the political wilderness next year, the first thing the LNP should do is dismantle the CSIRO, they are clearly now little more than a political propraganda machine these days.
But why stop there?
Once they're done scrapping the CSIRO, move on the the Australian BoM. That could be a warm up for going to war with the following list of science organisations which warn us about AGCC:
