‘They’ shrieked about ‘global warming’ — but now they admit we were ‘accidentally cooling’
American Thinker ^ | 07/08/2024 | Jack Hellner

When it comes to climate science, basically, researchers, mainstream media outlets, the UN, and the Democrats simply make things up as they go along to fit the narrative.

When the earth didn’t warm up as much as they predicted, they changed the terminology from global warming to climate change.

When hundreds of dire predictions never came true, and they had no scientific data to support their policies to destroy industries and our quality and way of life, they just made things up, just like they did with COVID.

Now, take a look at this, from The Washington Post, via Yahoo News:

We’ve been accidentally cooling the planet — and it’s about to stop

It is widely accepted that humans have been heating up the planet for over a century by burning coal, oil and gas. Earth has already warmed by almost 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times, and the planet is poised to race past the hoped-for limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming.

But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming - it also causes global cooling. It is one of the great ironies of climate change that air pollution, which has killed tens of millions, has also curbed some of the worst effects of a warming planet.

Tiny particles from the combustion of coal, oil and gas can reflect sunlight and spur the formation of clouds, shading the planet from the sun’s rays. Since the 1980s, those particles have offset between 40 and 80 percent of the warming caused by greenhouse gases.

And now, as society cleans up pollution, that cooling effect is waning. New regulations have cut the amount of sulfur aerosols from global shipping traffic across the oceans;

Using the logic of this article, that pollution causes cooling, that means going to “net zero” will heat up the planet, and isn’t that what everyone is supposedly worried about?

That’s why they switched it to climate change. Now they can use any weather. Ridiculous.

Hey, they are batting around zero right now. “The science,” that is. They really f’d up the Covid pandemic and the vaccines.

Should we trust them on global warming, global cooling, oh wait, they are calling it climate change now?

They are no different than the crazy dude on the street corner with the sign around his neck claiming that the end is near and we are all going to die tomorrow.

RE: claiming that the end is near and we are all going to die tomorrow.

The only thing the crazy dude got right is “we’re all going to die”, but you knew that.

I just bought a new 375 hp Pickup.

It only has a fairly standard, automotive, 12V battery.

YMMV

Thes article makes such senseless circular arguments, it makes Slow Joe look like Abe Lincoln in a debate.

What they are really worried about is freedom, liberty and a free market economy. Climate is just a tool to control things.

I remember in the 1970s they were screaming about global cooling. The glaciers were going to start moving south covering much of Canada and the northern US. Well, that didn’t happen did it? So then it was global warming... Then our former President bought a home just a few feet above sea level, so I guess global warming is not going to cause the oceans to rise. I am tired of the scare tactics the left uses to push their wacky agendas (include Covid in this mess of leftist scares).

HEATING or COOLING?... They CAN'T make up their mind. WHY?

On certain days, and in certain situations, ONE is MORE LUCRATIVE than others!

Yes, eventually. Maybe sooner than later with the Democrats running the show these days.

Two and maybe three possible world wars, a US health agency who continues to create pandemic level frankenviruses, the thousands of military age illegal aliens who flooded across our border under Biden, and the Democrat party who stokes hatred for all things American, white, Christian, male.

The climate changed this week in Spokane. Will be 102 today and 104 tomorrow.
I’ve lived here 15 years, and don’t recall anything like this. Weatherman says heat will last for several days at least, then down to almost normal summer temps.

It has never ever ever been about “global warming” or “climate change” and ALWAYS been 100% about using those themes and their agendas to get “international” socialist control (by treaties) of the worlds economies by international socialist control of energy.

He’s really not all that bright about tech stuff.

"burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming - it also causes global cooling."

More blanket and less blankets? Dewey would be so proud

Either way, the conclusion is always more power in fewer hands.

Which means “weather change” but that would sound even dumber that global warming and climate change
