THIS IS THE CLINCHER in some ways.

The Northern Hemispheric satellites have also been showing a trend of heating. If one compares all the other northern hemispheric satellites of the past week there is a definate increase in 'accumulation' of upper tropospheric heat.

That is significant to realize this is a global phenomena based in 'heat' saturation of the entire troposphere and not just the southern hemisphere. Earth indiscriminately accumulates 'gaseous' atmosphere and all it's characteristics, including heat, equitably. It's physics. Just that simple.

The oddly interesting aspect of this discovery is the fact we are entering Earth's equinox with the sun. Therefore, to find this occurrence 'globally' when Sol's radiation is traversing Earth equitably is to realize the enormity of Human Induced Global Warming as a global concern.

This directly translates into a political dialogue that includes all peoples, all nations to the concern of drastically reducing Greenhouse Gases. This is an issue of survival, not economy. Those that value economy over survival are highly immoral people with no regard or comprehension of what is important to life.

The USA must take leadership and also take the most drastic steps to reduce it's contribution to carbon dioxide emissions. If we do not do this, survival of most species on Earth will be in question.

I am anticipating a 'relief' to Antarctica, at least I am hoping for one, when Sol's radiation transitions to the Northern Hemisphere. I don't necessarily expect that to be the case.
