Our salvation is the smokestacks of India and China.

It’s 57 in the Dallas area today, unheard of this late in the year. I bet the volcano eventually causes a slightly cooler summer in general. No complaints for sure, hate my AC bills.

Researchers believe greenhouse gases such as CO2 have committed the Earth to an eventual warming of roughly 4 degrees Fahrenheit, a quarter of which the planet has already experienced. Thanks to cooling by aerosols starting in the 1940s, however, the planet has only felt a portion of that greenhouse warming. In the 1980s, sulfate pollution dropped as Western nations enhanced pollution controls, and as a result, global warming accelerated. If sulfate pollution has continued to drop, and CO2 levels have continued to increase, then according to theory that should cause "accelerated global warming".
Can these idiots then please explain why over the past 15 years there has been no statistically significant warming?
