    Bad News: The Earth's core is cooling faster than initially thought.

    Good News: It's not going to completely cool to the point of solidification, stripping the Earth of it's magnetic shield, allowing solar winds to pummel the planet, emptying all of the oceans, and making Earth uninhabitable for millions or billions of years.

    More Good News: No need to put together a team of scientists to send to the center of the Earth to keep us alive.

    Even More Good News: We won't be here in billions of years when the Sun dies, expands, and envelops the Earth on its way to supernova.

    Bad News: This may ensure a reboot, remake and or sequel of the core is on the way.

    Trump and his minions will seek you out when he gets reelected. Do you know why? Because I'm White and you're making me feel uncomfortable.

    Move DC underground and the hot air it generates will keep the core molten for millennia.
