Sometimes you see a short film and it opens up even more questions – in fact I was watching this as if it was a trailer until I realised that was the film! Fascinating look into the life of billy barr and his weather measurements which have helped prove that the world is getting warmer. And as he said, he started doing it 40 years ago well before the discussion about global warming really started, and only to assuage his boredom and I guess also his professional pride (he trained as a environmental scientist at Rutgers).
Love to know more, but I would think that would be an imposition – but what makes people live in a ghost town for all those years? There’s a bit more extra information at Oddity Central, but it’s scant. (via Boing Boing)
