Gov't: Effect of Greenhouse Gases Rising
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The effect of greenhouse gases on the Earth's atmosphere has increased 20 percent since 1990, a new government index says.

The Annual Greenhouse Gas Index was released Tuesday by the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory in Boulder, Colo.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide accumulate in the atmosphere as a result of industrial and other processes. They can help trap solar heat, somewhat like a greenhouse, resulting in a gradual warming of the Earth's atmosphere.

The Earth's average temperature increased about 1 degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that continuing increases could have serious effects on crops, glaciers, the spread of disease, rising sea levels and other changes.

4. A "government index" says!?

This would be 'OUR' government? The government of the United States, THAT government? Surely I must be mistaken. Your sure the article is talking about 'OUR' government?

5. They can't kick all the scientists out of NOAA

What NOAA does is too important to the financial well-being of the republican donors. They have to let real scientists continue to work there, and they sometimes slip the truth past the appointees.
