By comparison, the earth's surface has warmed about 9 degrees since the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago.

But now its surface warmed in a bath of infrared heat.

IT is clear, climatologists say, that the earth's surface has warmed since the start of the Industrial Revolution.

Observations show Earth's surface is warming.

Its surface was smooth, almost silky, and warmed in his hands like flesh.

Dr. Buie said his computer models indicated that the surface might have actually warmed one- or two-tenths of a degree since 1988.

Today, Dr. Wallace said, few appear to doubt that the earth's surface has warmed.

The Earth's surface is undeniably warming, according to a detailed new analysis by an American scientific group.

Same result: the surface is warming quicker than the troposphere.

The ocean's surface cools and warms cyclically in response to the strength of the trade winds.
