The right panel shows the face of the Sun as it looked on a good day during
the late Modern Warm Period. Sunspots are the apparent size of craters on
the moon. The left panel shows a Sun as it appears today. Please write to Al
Gore so that Al knows that the Sun is not living up to his religious
expectations. Al Gore is a divinity school dropout. George Carlin had a
better grasp of the true nature of God's creation, than does Al Gore.

which shows the relative sizes of the Sun and planets. Compared to the Sun,
Jupiter is the size of a pea, earth is the size of a grain of sand.

IMF: Global economy to shrink for first time in 60 years

Story Highlights
IMF report predicts global economy will shrink by one percent in 2009

Report says first contraction in 60 years led by United States, Europe,
Japan

IMF predicts global economic recovery won't come until 2010

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The global economic slowdown is so severe that the
worldwide economy will contract for the first time in 60 years, the
International Monetary Fund says.

The total of goods and services produced around the world is projected to
slump by 1 percent in 2009, compared with a 3.2 percent growth rate the year
before.

Leading the slump will be the world's most developed economies, including
the United States, Europe and Japan.

Japan's economy is forecast to shrink by 5.8 percent in 2009, while Europe's
is expected to decline 3.2 percent and the United States' 2.6 percent.

"The turnaround depends critically on more concerted policy actions to
stabilize financial conditions as well as sustained strong policy support to
bolster demand," the IMF said.

The IMF thinks the world's emerging and developing economies will continue
to grow this year, but by no more than 2.5 percent, after a 6.1 percent
growth rate in 2008.

Global economic recovery won't come until 2010, according to the IMF report.

The world's economic powers will struggle to break even in the new year,
while developing nations' economies will surge by up to 4.5 percent.
