I am sure that if it gets colder it will be blamed on coal, oil and natural gas.....somehow.
Burning coal, oil and NG cause carbon dioxide, which melts the glaciers, and the cold water cools the ocean and the earth. Simple.
Or Trump.
You are correct. The article cites a study from Yale that the upper atmosphere is getting colder. I followed the link. Put down your coffee before reading this:
“A new study reaffirming that global climate change is human-made also found the upper atmosphere is cooling dramatically because of rising CO2 levels.”
They try to make this make sense. I don’t think they can, but it would take time to pore over the article and find their mistakes.
I’d like to make a few observations about experts, scientists, and science. Do you remember experts (scientists?) at the American Tobacco Institute insisting that cigarettes did no harm? At a later date, experts told us that secondhand smoke was more dangerous than smocking. Presumably thirdhand smoke was even more dangerous. If you were several yards away from the smoker and got tenthhand smoke, you would keel over and die on the spot.
My point is that there will always be some expert, some scientist, some self-appointed spokesperson for science who will tell any story, provided they are paid to do so.
It would be false to claim that all scientists are prostitutes. However, it is always possible to find some scientists who are prostitutes. These people may then be chosen as the face of science.
It’s why el Rushbo said they switched to climate change. Under that heading any change or unusual temperature or weather can be blamed on CC. They can never be wrong.
