Pluto: The Non-Planet
When you went to school, some 50 years ago, Pluto was planet
number 9......Now this poor little speck of rock out there in the
universe has been "downgraded" to something like an "almost-
planet".....But this is not the subject of this blog.....
Rather it appears that there are some in the scientific
community which have noted that there is global warming
on this "piece of rock"......That's right, without any humans,
coal fired plants, SUV's and cow flatulence, the non-planet
is getting warmer......Some 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit or slightly
less than 2 degrees Celsius....(Centigrade for us olde folk.).....
The rise in temperature has occurred over the past 14 years......
Now the way I look at it is that if #3 and #9 are getting warm
it must be due to that big orange ball in the sky which both
orbit around, aka the Sun......Pumps
