1.   Before very long on a planetary time scale the surface temperatures would reach Cytherean values.

2.   Patterns of air pressure, surface winds and sea surface temperatures are all interlinked.

3.   The Cytherean atmosphere is far more massive than that of the Earth, and the surface temperatures are considerably higher.

4.   Water fails to enter the Martian atmosphere because the surface temperature is very low.

5.   Although the warm water pool in the eastern Pacific is losing volume month by month, sea surface temperatures are expected to remain above normal into the summer.

6.   As a basis for his position as a global warming-skeptic, Michaels relies, in part, on satellite temperatures, rather than surface temperatures.

7.   A likely culprit, scientists say, is a documented increase in sea surface temperatures during the same period.

8.   A warmer surface temperature would mean extremes in floods and droughts, higher ocean levels and disrupted food production, many climate scientists say.

9.   But no matter what the surface temperature is, the water from the springs is always the same temperature.

10.   Complicating the interpretation of the observed trend, Cavalieri said, is natural variability in ice cover and sea surface temperatures in the Arctic and Antarctica.
