Hmmmm. Wonder if it could be a right wing conspiracy to rid the contry of a few blue states? No big deal. The Blue states have all the money. We'll just foreclose on the red states. Everyone knows they are in hock up to their eyeballs. What are your feelings about that can of worms, dude? ***************************************************** New reports back global warming** By BETSY MASON Knight Ridder Newspapers LIVERMORE, Calif. — Although most scientists agree that global warming is real, a few pieces of the puzzle have proved difficult to fit. Critics of the warming theory have clung to these last bits of evidence. But new research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is hammering another big nail in the naysayers’ coffin. Most climate models predict that loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, as humans have done for more than 150 years, should warm the troposphere — the lowest layer of the atmosphere — faster than the planet’s surface. But temperature measurements from weather balloons and satellites show that while the surface has warmed, the troposphere has warmed more slowly and actually cooled slightly in some places since 1979. “The skeptics have always used this as one of the arguments that climate scientists don’t know what they’re talking about and global warming isn’t real,” said climatologist John Chiang of the University of California-Berkeley. Now, two groups of scientists have corrected errors in the temperature data, revealing that the troposphere has indeed warmed faster than the surface. kansascity.com
