GOLDEN STATE HEATING UP, NEW NASA/UNIVERSITY STUDY FINDS

Average temperatures in California rose almost one degree Celsius (nearly two 
degrees Fahrenheit) during the second half of the 20th century, with urban 
areas blazing the way to warmer conditions, according to a new study by 
scientists at NASA and California State University, Los Angeles.

This came from NASA where you can read more news releases.

==================

Tounge in cheek, does this mean CA has been warming up on a long term 
trend line or am I missing something.

OK You guys need an earthquake or something like Dust, to throw that trend 
line downward. Maybe you have to repeal Clean Air.

===================
Also of interest to me was the following one. Other reports I have recently 
read told me that the ice sheet has been substantially increasing thickness in 
the center.

NASA FINDS ARCTIC REPLENISHED VERY LITTLE THICK SEA ICE IN 2005

A new NASA study has found that in 2005 the Arctic replaced very little of the 
thick sea ice it normally loses and replenishes each year. Replenishment of this 
thick, perennial sea ice each year is essential to the maintenance and stability 
of the Arctic summer ice cover.
===================

I was going to post on a few other things yet decided not.
