Do Martians Even HAVE Feet? (by Jack Kinsella - HILARIOUS!!!)
"Greenhouse gases" is the catch-all phrase used to describe the natural atmospheric shield that keeps the sun from frying Planet Earth on one side while freezing it on the other. Those gases not only filter out cosmic radiation, but they keep the heat from escaping after the sun goes down. The moon, which, in cosmic terms is a stone's throw from the earth and pretty much the same distance from the sun as we are, is about +170 F in the sun. On the "dark side of the moon," the temperature is estimated to be about -400 F -- a difference of 570 degrees. (The moon doesn't have ANY greenhouse gases.)

Warming Report to Warn of Coming Drought
WASHINGTON (AP) - The harmful effects of global warming on daily life are already showing up, and within a couple of decades hundreds of millions of people won't have enough water, top scientists will say next month at a meeting in Belgium. At the same time, tens of millions of others will be flooded out of their homes each year as the Earth reels from rising temperatures and sea levels, according to portions of a draft of an international scientific report obtained by The Associated Press. Tropical diseases like malaria will spread. By 2050, polar bears will mostly be found in zoos, their habitats gone. Pests like fire ants will thrive.
