Getting a little WARM for you?

Here's a little something concerning the fervent heat that Peter (and Isaiah)spoke about(you'll find the passages in 2Peter 3:10-12, along with Isaiah 30:26 and Malachi 4:1-4). I'll give you the link to the full story, and just give the introduction here....

Hot enough for you? A new NASA study has found that global temperatures are nearing their hottest level in more than 12,000 years - since the last glaciers covered large portions of the planet. In fact, global temperatures have been going up approximately 0.2° Celsius (.36° Fahrenheit) per decade for the past 30 years. In fact, global temperatures are now within one degree Celsius of the hottest temperatures measured in the last million years.

(One comment: inserting a bit of skepticm, how do they know what the temperature was 12,000 years ago? Or for that matter, even a couple of thousand years ago? I'm not sure how far back records go concerning this. Nevertheless, there is more recent evidence that things are definitely 'warming up'.--Michael)
