Badoureau proposes clouds of carbonic acid in upper air
In a note to the French Academy, Mons A Badoureau offers an explanation for light fleecy clouds in the upper atmosphere. He argues that extreme cold causes successive condensation of carbonic acid, nitrogen and oxygen into clouds, possibly explaining recent halo observations. Temperature records from the Royal Meteorological Society show January highs and lows in London, and worldwide mean temperatures from cities such as Ferozepore Calcutta Hong Kong Cairo Rome Constantinople Pekin St. Petersburg.

Continental erosion by dissolved matter in Atlantic basins
An English geologist T Mellard Reade estimates that rivers including the Mississippi La Plata and St Lawrence remove dissolved material from the American continent at about 100 tons per square mile each year. He compares with Europe and calculates that land draining into the Atlantic would yield a cubic mile of rock annually every six years.
