Over 850 degrees Fahrenheit all due to CO2 in the atmosphere. It is hotter than Mercury which is the closest planet to the sun.

"In order to understand fully the causes of climate change we must understand the complex interactions that control our environment on a global scale. Space assets provide the most effective way of studying the conditions, composition and changes of our atmosphere/biosphere on a planet-wide scale. "
And there are many Astrophysicists that disagree with the consensus on global warming. So being a layperson, it's pretty damn confusing when you have 2 highly intelligent people that study the same field come to 2 completely different conclusions. And shit, throw in the monetary factor that a lot of these people get paid off to say one thing or the other ... wow I don't understand how people can form a concrete position.
