Spacecraft Dawn is expected to give us our answer in 2015.

I see articles that say Antarctica has hit the coldest temperature on record... and of course that gives Climate Change skeptics a huge excuse to mock climate change itself... as if it doesn't exist.

Really wish people understood the science behind it. A big misconception people have of global warming is all 360 degrees of the Earth will warm at the same time, completely ignoring the magnetic poles shifting and the seasons and weather patterns changing.

We've had record heat and drought in recorded history, to go along with record freeze in Antarctica.

The fact people continue to ignore there's a serious problem is scary.

The misconceptions drive me nuts.

Yep. Especially when we have 6 years of a warming trend, then year 7 is an outlier that reverts back temporarily, then years 8-10 continue years 1-6 but when year 7 happens all the skeptics say "GLOBAL WARMING WHAT?"

It's sad. Very sad.

I'd sooner read Wilbo and Gatom on global warming than Joe the Plumber. At least they are Braves fans.

Funny he wrote that a few days before NOAA released a report calling November the warmest global November ever recorded

That's pretty cool. Ceres was actually listed as a planet back in the day but got demoted like Pluto did.

This is science per se but a cool site nonetheless. Test Your Geographic Knowledge.
