Cleaner air could mean more global warming, expert says
wnd.com ^ | 1/21/2019 | Unknown

Posted on 01/21/2019 6:22:12 AM PST by rktman

The war over global warming has been going on for years, and has included some stunningly extreme suggestions, such as one U.N. official’s call for a new “ark” to save the world or another’s suggestion to dim the sun to alleviate the effects.

But now a report on the topic suggests a “rethinking” is needed.

That’s because it could be worse than thought, or not.

“The fact that our planet is getting warmer even though aerosols are cooling it down at higher rates than previously thought brings us to a Catch-22 situation: Global efforts to improve air quality by developing cleaner fuels and burning less coal could end up harming our planet by reducing the number of aerosols in the atmosphere, and by doing so, diminishing aerosols’ cooling ability to offset global warming.”

OFFS! SMDH! Seriously? Yeah, I know the topic if the moment is catholic youts attacking injuns, we need a distraction. So, a new "improved/latest" report suggests some rethinking is needed? Why in the hell would we need to rethink "!SETTLED SCIENCE!?". I'm starting to think this is some sort of money making scam or something. Oh, and by the way, snowing and blowing currently at my place. Can hardly see the pine trees in the back yard. GBS!

“money making scam”

Maybe. I’m thinking more of a wealth transfer program. Re: Paris climate accord.

And that white stuff falling in your yard is global warming fallout.

What ever happened to aerosols creating a giant hole in the ozone over the South Pole that was going to suck all the oxygen off the earth and kill us all? Are they good now? I can't keep track.

When did we start importing heat from outer space? Someone’s been fibbing.

Just a reincarnation of the Kyoto Treaty which said;

The USA will give the UN zillions of dollars which will be distributed wherever they want.

Back then we were somewhat sensible and it failed something like 99-1.

Anyone remember the report, years ago, that just after 9-11, when ALL planes in the USA were grounded, the air temp went up about 1 degree due to no pollution from aircraft?

We need to bring back public shaming for idiots that demand we give them more money to listen to them.

White Christian males cant stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial without being attacked by native indigenous assholes and Piled High and very Deep “scientists” declare the settled science has been killing us since the beginning of when God didnt create us.

Screw these people. They are manipulative extortionists that deserve to be cast into the sea with a mill stone lashed around their necks.

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

I’m still trying to figure out how refrigerants, that are used in a closed and sealed system, also were responsible for the hoke in the the ozone layer?

On another note, as a former pipefitter/welder in the late 70’s to the mid 90’s, I was always proud of the fact that every time I struck an arc with my TIG torch, I was replenishing the ozone layer... even then I knew this crap was bunk.

This sounds like a justification for more geo-engineering (chemtrails) and Stratospheric Aerosol Injections.

‘wealth transfer’

Our lawmakers have not only been bought off by the glowbull warming lobbiests, they are already heavily invested in the companies that will profit from legislation that has likely been written as we speak.

Actually this makes sense. ‘AGW’ for what’s worth really started after we put scrubbers on power plants and closed some old ones down. As the skies got clearer the earth started to warm. How many of the crazy ideas to fight AGW center on putting something back into the air to block sunlight
