An international team of scientists says it's figured out how to slow global warming in the short run and prevent millions of deaths from dirty air and get billions more in research grants.

For years they have been BSing us about C02 and we didn't buy it. So now they think they can sell soot and methane? Doubt it.

Have no fear, the EPA is here with an interactive map to help you target the offenders in your area. (We can live with out heat, electricity, food and metals cant we?)

Predictable as the day is long. There at least two major groups fostering the man made global warming hysteria.

The first, mostly politicians, wants to use it as justification for massive tax increases and wealth transfer.

The second, the eco-nazis, want to use it to justify forced reductions in energy use.

With all the news about the huge reserves of natural gas in the US, it is totally predictable that both groups would foster a new bogeyman, methane, which just happens to be the principal component of natural gas.

“Beano”: The answer to so called global warming. Beano petros in our autos and furnaces. Whoda thunk it?

Probably the largest producers of atmospheric methane are swamps. So the "Save the Wetlands" crowd and the "Earth of Fire" crowd will have to fight to see who wins.

Soot also is a big health problem, so dramatically cutting it with existing technology would save between 700,000 and 4.7 million lives each year,

Well, they definately have a handle on it. They're down to a 4 millon/yr death spread.

It sure took a long time for this Global warming to hit us.

100 years ago the industrial revolution was getting in gear and coalpowered plants, electric and steel were spewing out vast amounts of soot. Cars were burning more oil and no anti-pollution on them, the skies were filled with so much soot that women could not hang out their clothes and many people were gasping for breath in the smog over cities.

I remember in the 60’s driving to work and seing a cloud hanging over the city.

Today that is gone, we have cleaned the environment about 75% I suppose, but now while we have done away with most of the smog and most of the pollution of the industrial revolution we are getting the Global warming from it.

Sure took a long time, but I gues these same scientists think we can clean it up in a month or so if we just closed down everything and stopped human life on the planet.

So does this mean that the learned elites were wrong about CO2 all along?

...can sell soot and methane?

....well, it will be an "easier" sell, IMO.

Co2 is what we breath out, and what plants "breath" in....

...."soot" is from smokey fires, and "methane" is farts....

...so we perceive Co2="good", soot/methane="bad"

...perception is everything....apparently, the "scientists" are just now figuring this out.

"Carbon dioxide is the chief greenhouse gas"

WRONG!

Water vapor is, by far, the chief greenhouse gas.

These people continue to make up their "facts" out of whole cloth.

“Millions and million of people die every year.

Send us more more money to fight: global cooling/ozone holes/global warming/Silent Spring/CO2 emissions/DDT/etc, etc; and we will protect you.

All we need to do, is shut off the water and heat to Yellowstone, and any other geothermal spots on the earth, and problem solved! /S

A better avenue to end the controversy is to end grants. If there are no grants, there is no money to fabricate lies.

Maybe soot from volcanoes would do the trick. Or, maybe NOT!

Next the latest scientific study will show that pot smoke slows global warming. However, they need more time and money to complete the study.

For millions of years, “climate change” had always been a naturally occurring thing. Then, a group of humanoids figured out that there was a lot of money to be made from the dumb humanoids who never to the time to learn how nature works. Once this happened, the “scientists” turned into some of the world’s finest con men.

Wouldn’t soot in the atmosphere block the sunlight and cause the earth to cool?

BS.

Water vapor “is the chief greenhouse gas” in the atmosphere and is far more prevalent than all other so called “greenhouse gasses”.

Just lies on top of more lies.

I guess they don’t know anything about the newly discovered climatic phenomenon with potentially catastrophic results called...wait for it...wait for it...

Now we’re all gonna die fer sure, dude!

They found that less soot in the air causes the atmosphere to warm by 1 degree C in three days!
