Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history and experts think the trend is accelerating.

New details emerged Tuesday in the mysterious suspension of acclaimed polar bear scientist Charles Monnett. It appears that his 2006 paper on polar bear deaths is not in question. What is, however, is his management of a current study on "Populations and Sources of Recruitment in Polar Bears."

If polar bears had any clue of the scale of speculation about the extinction threat they are facing due to climate change, they would have probably said "you're kidding, right?"

Global warming predictions have followed UN models and trends in describing how Earth traps heat due to carbon dioxide. The increased gases and rising temperatures would create large amounts of water vapors to develop into clouds. Those clouds would trap larger amounts of heat and devastate the planet's ecosystem leading to the end of mankind.

Global warming proponents can catch up on the sleep they lost worrying about the planet getting hotter with each passing day. A NASA study which analyzes satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011, published in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing, reports that Earth's atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than global warming proponents' computer models have predicted.

Melting ice sheets of Greenland have been a cause of concern for researchers and climate change proponents, as previous studies on the ice sheet behaviors projected Greenland's ice less stable when compared to Antarctica's ice. But a recent study by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggests that we may have got it all wrong.
