Who is going to believe that a parent wouldn’t notice the problem long before the child had to say, “Daddy, I can’t breathe.” He’s so full of IT....

"Does it not make sense to say that this particular form of pollution (Incomplete combustion of fuels causes soot, and other particulate carbon species to evolve) may have slowed the progression of global warming in the 20th century."

Good theory, but I believe the timing of events is out of phase. Air pollution in the US reached its peak in the '60s. This prompted the clean air acts of 1963 and 1970. During this time we were experiencing COOLING. As the changes in vehicles and stationary sources started became implemented, and the soot decreased, the warming started. The computer controlled automobile combustion eliminated soot by running the engine at the perfect air/fuel ratio well before warming reached its peak. Now that China and India are pouring out far more soot and air pollution than the US ever did, there has been no warming.

Well, I tried. Thanks for pointing that out.

And I accept your counter-argument, unlike the AGW worshippers :-)
