Breaking News...The Earth is Warming... Still. A LOT

"NOTHING ELSE FITS THE EVIDENCE

Not theory, not ideology, not political views, not internal variability, not questions over surface temperature records, not fudged or not fudged data, not hockey sticks or Medieval Warm Periods, or perhaps missing 'hot-spots'."

Comparing warming increase from '61 to '03 vs '93 to '03.

Fear believes - courage doubts

"Fear believes - courage doubts. Fear falls upon the earth and prays - courage stands erect and thinks. Fear is barbarism - courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, in devils and in ghosts. Fear is religion, courage is science."

• Robert Ingersoll

The Most Astounding Fact (Neil DeGrasse Tyson)

Awesome.  The atoms in our bodies were cooked up in early stars of the universe.  We are part of this universe, we are in this universe.  Most important is that the universe is in us.  That makes us big.  And connected to the universe.
