POPSFireball captured QUOTE: "...May 9th, as the sun was rising over Gdansk, Poland, an exploding fireball split the sky. Eye-witness Krzysztof Polakowski of the Polish Fireball Network describes it as a "magnitude -8 meteor" or 40 times brighter than Venus. Believe it or not, this shadow-casting fireball was ... nothing special. According to calculations done by Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, magnitude -8 fireballs appear somewhere on Earth around three times a day. That's almost one hundred a month! Lesser fireballs occur even more often...They are caused mainly by random bits and pieces of asteroid and comet debris crashing into our atmosphere as Earth orbits the Sun...."

POPSU.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007 Not that this is anything new. Being in the geoscientific circles, I can safely say that those collegues who don't care about global warming-politics (and fortunately most of them don't), find this whole climate change hubbub too ridiculous to pay attention to. It's all about money, power and control. And anyone who thinks differently should take any college level book on earth sciences or physical geology and get acquainted with planet Earth.
