    RE: "Earth's second warmest year."

    I love these Global Warming headlines that deliberately leave out "inconvenient truths." The article points out that it is the second warmest year in a century. Even ardent creationists believe that Earth is much older than that. I pointed out to the author of the piece at "LiveScience" (a shill for Global Warming) that the Earth is calculated to be about 4.5 billion years old. I believe there have been a bazillion years that were warmer than 2007.
