Climate Change Study by NASA
I was just on NASA's Twitter Feed, and it mentioned something about a study on climate change that is being put together for launch in the near future. It is basically a study on the big picture in terms of climate change. Instead of simply studying the varying levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, this mission will focus on the intervals in which energy enters and escapes earth's atmosphere. With this knowledge, we will be able to understand how the earth actually reacts and regulates when these smaller aspects of climate change (such as an increase in CO2 levels) occur. NASA will take very precise and accurate energy measurements from space with the hopes to spell out a few decades worth of information and evidence to further help climate forecasts and predictions in the future.

nice post, linking to that article was key. Unfortunately I think they can do as many studies as they want and never convince certain people.
ReplyDeletethere was 5ft of snow in DC this winter, its obviously all fake.....
