Where’s the Heat, Al?
“Where has all the heat gone?” is what a couple of scientists asked as they published their research in Science, the official journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAA). Since access to Scienceis limited to members, I took this quote from the report in the online publication PhysicsWorld. You need no editorializing from me, just draw your own conclusions as to what it means re the Global Warming debate.

Losing energy since 2004 …
Since 2001 scientists have used satellites to compare the amount of solar energy being absorbed by the Earth to the amount of infrared energy escaping from our planet. And just as predicted by the theory of manmade climate change, the amount of energy retained by the Earth has increased along with greenhouse-gas concentrations.
At first this extra energy seems to have boosted temperatures down here on Earth. Then something unexplained happened in about 2004 – and since then terrestrial measurements suggest that the planet is losing energy.
