Now they have to figure out how to connect human beings to the heat of the Earth’s mantle.

It is still the sun....

Heat in the core of the earth is from Radioactive decay...

The sun can affect radioactive decay: http://wavewatching.net/2012/09/01/from-the-annals-of-the-impossible-experimental-physics-edition/

OMG the sun is causing greenland to melt......

I say it’s a byproduct of all those progressives roasting in Hell, but it’s just a theory. If the government would send some research grant money my way I’d be happy to study it for a few years.

This influence is very variable spatially

In other words, it's hot near the fire.

It's millions of degrees down there.

O'BRIEN: ...to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?

GORE: It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...

“We have run the model over a simulated period of three million years, and taken into account measurements from ice cores and independent magnetic and seismic data”, says Petrunin. “Our model calculations are in good agreement with the measurements. Both the thickness of the ice sheet as well as the temperature at its base are depicted very accurately. “


So we trust computer models, now?

It looks like the neutrinos coming from the sun have mutated into a new kind of nuclear particle. They’re heating up the earth’s core and suddenly act like microwaves.

LOL! That’s more credible than some of the “science” being espoused by the enviro-whacko crowd!

I can hear them now, Overpopulation by man and his global distribution has catastrophically altered the plate weight and balance of the Earth!!!! We must immediately commence a accelerated program of euthanasia and cremation so as to re balance the Earth, volunteers are required and I suggest all environmentalists and liberals immediately report to the staging areas.
