The atmospheric ozone figure on page 4 of the November 1993 Access to Energy was redrawn from the paper by J. R. Herman, et al., J. Geophys. Res., Vol. 96, (1991) - the same source used for the ozone figure on page 3 of the December 1991 Access to Energy.
An anomaly in the annual increase in carbon dioxide of about 1.5% per year has been observed in Hawaii during 1993 by D. Keeling. See summary by J. L. Sarmiento, Nature, Vol. 65, No. 6448, p. 697 (1993). This anomaly essentially canceled the expected annual increase, at least in Hawaii. This is being attributed to the eruption of Mount Pinatubo - possibly through its fertilization of oceanic plants.
Radiant Science, Dark Politics by Martin D. Kamen, University of California Press, ISBN 0-520-04929-2. This book is a fascinating account of the beginnings of the nuclear age by the discoverer of carbon 14, who experienced both the excitement and the political hor ror. That horror resulted in the injustice that Martin Kamen is the only living nuclear scientist with such an important discovery who has not received the Nobel Prize. Professor Kamen is also known for his many contributions to tracer methods and to photosynthesis research.
