	Very cool!!! What an erratic little ball we live on. It's amazing that, not only can we detect minute temperature changes on earth, but that we have the technology available to eliminate our distance from the sun and axis as sources, and attribute those changes directly to humans. __________________ Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

	Thats climatology 101. Ignore everything that is too large and too complex and to difficult to graph on a $12.00 scientific calculator and you will invariably come down to it must be humans doing it! The world is flat and everything revolves around us you know.

	That was pretty good (and humbling)! I've only a general interest in things astronomical but the complexity of the mechanics is really interesting. I guess that's what made someone (the Greeks, I think?) come up with the Antikythera mechanism.

	Glad to hear it It makes some of the stuff that happens on our home planet seem quite out of our hands! __________________ “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.” Walt Disney

	Is true that we have only one year in this planet?
