‘They’ shrieked about ‘global warming’ — but now they admit we were ‘accidentally cooling’

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;

The bulk of aerosols—about 90 percent by mass—have natural origins. Volcanoes, for example, eject huge columns of ash into the air, as well as sulfur dioxide and other gases, yielding sulfates. Forest fires send partially burned organic carbon aloft. Certain plants produce gases that react with other substances in the air to yield aerosols, such as the “smoke” in the Great Smoky Mountains of the United States. Likewise in the ocean, some types of microalgae produce a sulfurous gas called dimethylsulfide that can be converted into sulfates in the atmosphere.

Sea salt and dust are two of the most abundant aerosols, as sandstorms whip small pieces of mineral dust from deserts into the atmosphere and wind-driven spray from ocean waves flings sea salt aloft. Both tend to be larger particles than their human-made counterparts...

The remaining 10 percent of aerosols are considered anthropogenic, or human-made,...

When will it be time for ‘Global Stasis’?..................

That's "Global Climate Stasis Crisis" to you, mister!

warm or cool matters not

climate control in response to climate change

is about controlling you

not the climate

[Qwapisking]

so we’re they right when headlines in the 70’s proclaimed “global ice age predicted”?.

HEATING or COOLING?...

Make up your minds, we have wardrobes to plan!

[metmom]

Funny, if we’re now *cooling* then why did we have such a mild winter and are now having such a hot summer?????

[Wildbill22]

Gee, it kind of sounds like the science ISN”T settled.....

They don’t know whether to spit or go blind. Way past time for their BS to end.

[RetiredTexasVet]

The Marxist State Media shrieked about Global Warming (aka Climate Change) because they were paid to. That is why you always hear the “caused by Climate Change” blurbs on a huge number of stories in the media. Sometimes they are really ridiculous when included in stories about meteor showers, earthquakes, etc.

Precession - or change of tilt - of Earth’s rotational axis towards the sun. It’s a known cycle.

Northern regions get higher sun exposure, hence higher summer temperatures.

Southern (below the equator) areas get less sun exposure, hence lower (coincidental to the global north summer) winter temperatures. Freezing temperatures were reported here and elsewhere just a day or two ago for Sidney, Australia.

(And, btw, whenever they start moaning about the whatever “injustice” to the “global south” - remember that only about 10% of humanity lives south of the equator. Indians, Chinese, Arabs,...need not apply!)

Is it all a giant scam? Why, yes it is!

I’ve lived here 15 years, and don’t recall anything like this.

High temperatures in Spokane:

104 August 08, 1898

103 July 21, 1905

108 July 26, 1928

104 August 08, 1930

106 July 20, 1931

My little slice of paradise in the Caribbean set an all time record low of 63F this winter. The locals thought they were going to die. So we have that.
