http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18725103.700 is just one of many studies confirming it.

Speaking of this one article, because a group of scientists conducted an experiment detecting anti-neutrinos and they claim they come from the planet’s core, you automatically accept this as proof?

“Science is the belief in the fallability of experts.” — Richard Feynman

This same scientific establishment believes in the Big Bang. Do you?

Later in the article, one fellow says “this will require a whole network of detectors.” Meaning big dollars, funding, profits, etc. Do you see?

Whether neutrinos are even real are not is debatable.

Just think about the premise of uranium decay being the cause. Uranium is 19.1 grams/cc, iron is 7.874 grams/cc. Wouldn’t uranium sink to the center of the earth, through the molten iron, and once it’s concentrated wouldn’t it all burn up through fission very quickly?

Meanwhile we see the tides due to the moon rising and falling every day. We see the earth itself deformed by the moon. And the gravity gradient penetrates the earth’s interior also.

Anyway I’m not convinced radioactive decay is the cause.

ETA – I looked on Wikipedia about Venus, Venus has no active volcanoes but there were signs of volcanic activity in the past. Venus is about the same size as the earth. If radioactive decay is causing the heat, why aren’t there active volcanoes on Venus? Moreover, Venus rotates very slowly, its day is similiar to its year. Therefore tidal activity from the sun would be miniscule. And Venus has no big moon. Solution? Venus used to rotate faster. Tidal action from the sun slowed it down. The heat generated volcanic activity in the past, but this has now died out.
