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; China, fighting its own air pollution problem, has slashed sulfur pollution dramatically in the last decade.
The result is even warmer temperatures — but exactly how much warmer is still under debate. The answer will have lasting impacts on humanity’s ability to meet its climate goals.

It is widely accepted BY SCAMMERS and MORONS that humans have been heating up the planet for over a century- Everyone else knows that the sun warms the earth,. not mankind
Isn’t it Gates who has been working at shading earth?
“It is widely accepted that humans have been heating up the planet for over a century by burning coal, oil and gas.”
By morons.
Still, one of the funniest movies ever made - Peter Falk was absolutely hilarious!
Conductor Carmen Dragon, father of Daryl Dragon (”Captain & Tenille”) had a cameo in the 1979 movie, “The In-Laws”

My ice cream sandwiches from Wal-Mart are not diet food?
And the dictator was the editor in Fletch series (Chevy Chase is still a jerk) and also showed up as the arms dealer in “Deal of the Century”
Ooops! Anyone know where that thermostat controls are?
These people are either morons, or they are full of hubris, without a proper perspective of the magnitude of this world and the universe in general. I am thinking it is a combination of the two. "We" are nothing in the grand mechanism of this universe.
Ridiculous? Short of a full scale global nuclear war, yeah, I guess so...
So, it’s back to THE COMING ICE AGE hysteria of the 1970s!
What a moron. Does the author not understand that precipitation cleanses the air???
“Will they change their climate crisis back to global warming”
Just as soon as they can breed and get the cows back in operation.

Convince them their gods demand a “Progressive “ to be sacrificed in the nearest volcano! 🌋.

If we remove the particulate pollution from the skies, might the increased light reaching the earth’s surface result in additional greening and thus lower the CO2 levels?
I still love that : )
They changed the term from ‘Global Warming’ to ‘Climate Change’ when they lost the argument and can no argue both sides of the side coin...warming and cooling.
It’s ultimately all about money, either from the government, or fleecing businesses into feeling guilt because they may be somehow contributing to a problem that no one appears to be able to actually quantify. Let’s not forget about the carbon-credit industry that all of a sudden was created to somehow fix the problem.
Then there’s the control aspect, which of course, only really applies to the average Joe/Jane. Because the elites who know so much better than everyone else certainly aren’t going to change their lifestyles...they are just too good, and all knowing for that to happen.
How about starting with AOC and the rest of The Squad, the ladies of The View, Hillary Clinton and Joy Reid?
Total Nonsense.
Pure Insanity!
All Lies.
“It is widely accepted that humans have been heating up the planet for over a century by burning coal, oil and gas.”
A quote by Joseph Goebbels:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
