Silky/buttery and easy to squash...

China may have landed a probe on the far side of the moon, but I have been able to demonstrate that the soil in our back garden is a silty loam!

(This is not the same moonrock that featured in a previous blip, I promise).

Soil erosion, oxidation and thawing permafrost are among the anthropogenic effects that make global heating (not warming - let's call it what it is) inescapable.
