Article from TODAY: Earf has warmed in last 30 years Huntsville, AL (AHN) - Globally, the Earth's atmosphere has warmed an average of about 0.72 degrees Fahrenheit (0.4 C) in 30 years, according to data collected from NOAA and NASA satellites. Over 80 percent of the planet has warmed by some measure. Half of the globe has warmed at least half a degree Fahrenheit, and a quarter of the planet has warmed by at least one degree Fahrenheit, according to John Christy, a professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center (ESSC) at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. |

And during his tenure there, he has worked to make the Berkeley facility a world leader in alternative and renewable energy research, particularly with the development of carbon-neutral energy sources." Nobel physicist Steven Chu in line for energy post (Chron.com) "As global warming warnings grow more dire, Chu is currently pushing his scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and industry to develop technologies to reverse climate change."

Replying to: larsb (Dec 10, 2008 2:28 pm) To 'normalize' your data... one needs to SUBTRACT the amount that MARS has also warmed up due to the sun putting out more heat. After normalizing your data... the Earth is not really getting much warmer than any of our neighboring planets. Lets not get into humans causing the Sun to get hotter...

Replying to: bpeebles (Dec 10, 2008 5:46 pm) The head GOICG (government official in charge of grants) told them that he was afraid that they would burn up if they attempted to land on the sun. They told him this would not be a problem because they would go at night.
