A bug in Google News stops fresh news from showing up in the stream.

From the Sun's and the aphelion's distance

Aphelion, which this year occurred on July 6, refers to the point in Earth's orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. This occurs as a result of the slightly elliptical orbit it travels on. But shouldn't it be growing colder instead of warmer if the Earth were as far away from the Sun as is possible?
