(It will not. It is thicker and larger than ever.)
"The center of the Earth is millions of degrees..."
The center of the earth is estimated to actually be between 4000 and 6-7000 degrees.

An “Everybody else does it” defense.
If they needed to clean house (and they do) in order to warrant future funds, they would.
AIDS research, Evolution, Climate Science, DDT ... the list is long for scientific research which is constrained by an existing ideology such that only scientific thought which is "appropriate" can be contemplated.
That's not science at all.
The CRU miscreants might say, like Browning’s Mr. Sludge, “I cheated when I could...but there was something in it, tricks and all!” The basic “greenhouse’” mechanism has been under scrutiny for over fifty years and appears to be valid. The ability of human activity to significantly affect global energy balance is obvious from satellite photos and was demonstrated by the effect of halocarbons on the ozone hole [5]. And since our prodigal use of Earth’s resources, if unchecked, might well lead to eventual uninhabitability, some of the measures proposed by AGW advocates, such as economical energy/materials usage and replacement of fossil fuels with renewable ones, are simply prudent planetary housekeeping.
I therefore recommend that, while fighting against nonsensical schemes like cap-and-trade and avoiding extreme measures that would endanger our already precarious economy, we become judiciously cooperative about reasonable and gradual approaches to energy conservation, supportive of honest efforts to learn more about climate trends, and even receptive to measures for controlling and counteracting them.
NOTES
The writer begins to show he has no concept of the lengths to which reasonable people have gone to conserve energy and show a desire for dialog on the subject only to be laughted to scorn by the liars, deceivers, media, and all those who have bought into the scam. It has come down to a war between what is right, and what is WRONG. The same war that has been fought since Cain tried to quietly disposed of Able. It isn’t about right vs left, it is all about right vs WRONG.
A scientist who lies is no longer by definition a scientist, but a politician.
