    Oops?. Global climate changes are causing global warming?

    The great paradox: Drop in air pollution has INCREASED global warming because clean air does not contain aerosol particles that reflect sunlight and cool the Earth

    You must be cooking down there in NW AR to keep bringing this up.

    And in true RED fashion, arguing against reality, and bring ornery about it because part of you knows it.

    So....CO2, methane, absorb in the IR spectrum, keep energy from radiating back into space.

    Sulphur dioxide, from volcanos but also coal and petroleum combustion, causes reflective droplets in the high atmosphere that block sunlight.

    Also there is the cloud seeing effect of jet aircraft contrails.

    Remains from the most powerful volcanic eruptions were branded by the sun before they ended up buried under the polar ice. This discovery enables scientists to find out when the volcanoes controlled the climate.


    Plus good old Southern California or Beijing smog. Or the way Essen was in Krupp's heydey.

        Al Gore can't claim he invented them so they never existed.

            They just got bored. They were around for over two hundred million years
            never learned to speak, read or build anything. . Spent every day doing nothing
            but eat some other dinosaur that couldn't run as fast.
            Died of Boredom.

              What togor missed is the war on CO2 has reduced the level that allows much more radiation from the sun to reach the earths surface increasing the amount of warming. Now the genius scientists want to replace the missing CO2. In essence that would get us back to where we started.

              Planes spraying tiny sulphate particulates into the lower stratosphere could help shield Earth from just enough sunlight to help keep temperatures low

                That's kind of what I thought
                If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
